In response to Rolfe's message on how theoretical models get
transformed when integrated into networks of other practices,
and with an eye to our other recent discussions about educational
policy and politics, some people might be interested to look
at chapter 4 of _Textual Politics_ in which I analyze what
happened to some very standard educational research (in a neo-
economic rationalist paradigm) when it got translated (in quite
a Latourian sense) into educational policy discourse, first
by its original authors, and later as taken up into the conservative
educational policy agenda of the Reagan administration. JAY.
