Authorship as Collaboration: Actor-Network Theory and Literature Dr Rebecca Braun (Lancaster) This talk asks what literary studies can learn from science & technology studies' actor-network theory, and what STS can learn from literature in return. Exploring first how Goethe's ideas on world literature emerged from a larger conceptual programme of relatedness between people, things, and ideas, I then move to a discussion of 21st-century literary networks and the different ways they are sustained through physical and virtual spaces. Running throughout my talk is a concern with how we define agency: who or what comes together around literature, (how) have these connections changed over time, and what might my conclusions tell us about the way we conceptualise the social significance of creative work?
