Mike, Alan, XMCAers,

Mike and Alan both talk of connecting or at least pointing at the
relationships between some very different analyses of sociality. I'd like
to see as many of these "new, intermediate, tools" as possible. Latour and
Wittgenstein, Harroway on Latour, Latour on Hutchins. It would be very
interesting and I would find it helpful if people would post summaries as
Mike suggests I would appreciate it. Mike, do you have a reference for
Shotter? I take from the general silence on the issue that folks don't know
of a broader overview.

I am going to be only intermittantly connected to the web until new years
but if folks are interested I could post something on relationships I see
between Wittgensteinian representation and situated cognition by way of
repaying my debt to the community.

Thanks for your help, John
