Abstract

ANTA or Actor-Network Analyzer is a simple piece of software developed at Sciences Po médialab to offer social researchers a simple text-analysis tool attuned with the theoretical tenets of actor-network theory. Striving to make actor-network theory compatible with modern text-analysis, we have learned much about both. In this paper we'll discuss our adventure in ANT and text-analysis while describing the basic functions of ANTA and providing examples of its usage.
