Callon and Latour took a different line and proposed that human and machine agency were similar and, using a semiotic definition, attributed agency to any ‘actant’ who is recognised as a source of agency. In this analysis agency is performed by humans, nonhumans and combinations of both. For example, writing and sending an email involves humans and also machines. Humans are both doing more than directing the computer as they usually are engaged in several things at once. Humans are also doing less than directing the computer as their interaction and prose style are shaped by the technology.

That material and human agencies are mutually Though we have considerable sympathy with the aspirations of improving design techniques (examples include participatory design, value sensitive design, or soft systems methods (Greenbaum and Kyng 1991; Friedman et al. 2007; Checkland and Scholes 1999) a lacuna in such work is a limited interest in how technologies and users interact outside the ‘laboratory’ conditions of design and how users and technologies work ‘in the wild’ (Hutchins 1996). 2 Lamb (2006) makes an initial and eclectic start to re-examine social actors in relation to actor networks (ibid: 9).
