The contributors delve into empirical cases where science, technology, and activists intersect, focusing on the process of collectives assembling themselves around matters of concern, forming alliances with diverse human and non-human entities, and developing strategies for caring for one another. Through their analysis, they conclude that Actor-Network Theory (ANT) offers a valuable tool for constructing forms of attention and care that aspire to learn from social movements rather than explaining them away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will appeal to scholars and researchers interested in activism, broader political and social movements, as well as those exploring the intricate interactions between science, technology, and society. Originally published as a special issue of Social Movement Studies, it contributes to the ongoing dialogue on the dynamics and complexities of social change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 177 x 245 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032087818\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103769030906,"sku":"9781032087818","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646221840059_book.jpg?v=1646927838","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/reassembling-activism-activating-assemblages-9781032087818","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
