Abstract

In this chapter I turn to Latour's methodology of tracing associations to show how composition might perform the elusive activity of "trac[ing] with precision a chain of activity that connects the writing of a [document] to a given public action or impact" (Grabill 202). Latour's methodology of tracing associations, or actor-network-theory (ANT) lends itself to doing rhetoric.
