Co-ordinator = Chris Atkinson

Define the Syntegration network as itself an actor network mobilised to address the problematisation of the focal actor, Raul Espejo. To look at the tools, methods and techniques used for bringing into being the network and evaluate their and the whole networks success/failure  From this we seek to develop an effective approach (with associated tools and techniques) for bringing into being other actor-networks.

How might we do it?

  • Self-reflection by the Gold group on the project.
  • Interview different human actors and interlocutors for non-human actors e.g., Alfonso for the technologies used. Did they make manifest or betray Alfonso or Raul in addressing the original problematisation.
  • Explore choice of technology used and how they were modified.
  • Explore choice of human actors and logistics staff, their roles activities.
  • Investigate role of the core 'team syntegrity protocol' and how it orchestrated the network and was reciprocally change by it.
  • Look at all the outcomes of the Syntegration project.
  • Examine what insights does ANT give and are there other frameworks that could have been of use in developing and understanding of the Syntegration Project.
  • Achieve the next OPP: namely moving to produce further downline deliverables of use to the entire networks.
