“…However, neither the concept of actornetwork theory (ANT) nor social network analysis (SNA) are deeply analysed in the book. Knowledgeable readers might naturally expect a deeper discussion of SNA, the application of Pryke's approach as presented in Advanced Research Methods in the Built Environment (Knight and Ruddock, 2008) and a detailed analysis of ANT (Murdoch, 1998;Latour, 2005;Fallan, 2008) in the building industry.…”

“…This interest in the processes of use and maintenance is combined with an analytical strategy that draws on Actor-Network Theory (ANT). In recent years, ANT has made a strong impact on both architecture (Fallan 2008a), design studies (Fallan 2008b;c, Yaneva 2009;Petersen & Riisberg 2016) and fashion studies (Riegels Melchior, Skov & Faurholt Csaba 2011;Riegels Melchior 2010). Central proponents include fashion scholar Joanne Entwistle, who argues that ANT offers a methodology for tracing the connections between human and non-human actors and a way of studying fashion simultaneously as materiality and practice (2015b).…”

This paper sets out to explore the significance of the production, sale and consumption of clothing as a product service system rather than as the more familiar 'shop-window' product offered for individual sale. While there are a number of studies of occupational clothing systems, relatively little is known about clothing systems tailored for the private market. This article presents a case study of a recently launched subscription service for baby clothing, which offered a range of eco-certified garments for rent as more or less complete wardrobes. Drawing on fashion scholar Kate Fletcher's (2012) concept of "techniques and processes of use" and on Actor-Network Theory, the study follows the company from its tentative beginnings through its first year in a process that provided an opportunity to study a clothing system "in the making." Particular interest is paid to how the leasing system and product design features are mutually constitutive and to how the system interconnects with practices of use and maintenance among subscribers with a special interest in laundry regimes and durability. Taking this empirical example as its point of departure, the article concludes with a discussion of how product qualities and processes of use are intertwined and co-constructed.

“…Premisas similares han sido utilizadas en la observación de los edificios bajo una perspectiva sociotécnica que han verificado configuraciones estables de asociaciones y efectos interaccionales entre actores humanos y no humanos. Entre las temáticas abordadas por estos estudios se cuentan: la tipología misma de edificios de altura (Graham, 2016;Grubbauer, 2010;Kuppinger, 2010); el funcionamiento de edificios individualizados como laboratorios (Gieryn, 2002;, hospitales (Chang, 2010), museos (Beauregard, 2015;Hancock, 2010;Yaneva, 2005;, iglesias (Edensor, 2011), parlamentos (Dányi, 2015); o como instrumentos geopolíticos (Graham, 2004), las prácticas relacionadas con su diseño arquitectónico (Fallan, 2008;Müller & Reichmann, 2015); los efectos interaccionales (morales) de estos diseños (Chan, 2015); o los motivos y resultados de los cambios de programas de funcionamiento dentro de estas formas arquitectónicas (Guggenheim, 2010).…”

La verticalización de las ciudades chilenas es un fenómeno que concita el interés público, aunque requiere de una comprensión que excede las razones económicas y las posibilidades técnicas que llevan a la proliferación de edificios de altura. El presente trabajo revisa en la literatura sociológica el tratamiento que se ha dado a los edificios de altura, con el objetivo de encontrar ciertas claves que colaboren con el estudio actual de estas formas arquitectónicas. Las conclusiones identifican un giro epistemológico que ha permitido contar con herramientas capaces de enlazar, por una parte, los aspectos arquitectónicos, materiales y técnicos implicados en los edificios de altura, junto con el análisis sociológico de los mismo.
