DISCUSSING LEARNING UNDER ACTOR-NETWORK THEORY PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

In this paper, we argue learning as a dynamic and multifaceted phenomenon, product of series of conditions emerging from a networking causality, taking body as a mediating instance between subject and the world, affecting reciprocally each other. Based on concept of translation, defended by Actor-Network Theory, we searched their unfolding in Psychology field in order to understand the construction of identities as bets, always temporaries, of materiality and sociality processed mixtures, during human biography lifetime. We used Stengers-Despret principles, brought up to date for Latour, pointing to a alternative political epistemology making a reflection on teaching, learning and knowledge construction: while a process necessarily tied and tuned with others; while a risked enterprise that leads in account, as a survival strategy,  human and on human recalcitrance;   that offers occasions to differ in a movement where all the involved ones modify each others because of effects produced; while a plural and inclusive practice, having, finally, a common world as the major objective of this constructions.  Key words: Learning; Actor-Network Theory; Psychology
