From Hollin’s paper (2017) – actor-network theory. For me what is so interesting is the taking up of theatrical terms in social sciences. I don’t think this is just a weird happenstance but a specific relation to the fact that theatre has long been a laboratory; if we put these people in this situation and make these things happen what would happen? I don’t think it is worth arguing against Michael Freid – his dualistic thesis is tied up in a way of seeing that we have moved away from – something can be worthy/valuable/appealing whether they are theatrical or anti-theatrical and something can be an object in this decade but a piece of art in the next or visa Versa – context and what this speaker refers to as messy networks are what makes meaning, not the style. Am thinking about the above – which also explores power,  as ‘an aesthetic allusion’. Not what an individual is exerting, but token moving through a network. Sees actors as non-human and human. The ‘study of relationships’.
