It is this sense of disempowerment, becoming figuratively devoured by
something huge, that fills us with a sense of forboding. But as Sara's
vignettes illustrate so also do actor-networks continue to grow, in many
instances cutting through the human hierarchies we think of as so large
or influencing through their 'leverage' (cf. Latour) the scalar
hierarchies that some elites may attempt to control but yet which can
not be controlled in the way they think. Sara is there in all the
vignettes and they are under no single point of control nor are they
necessarily subsumed..
Perhaps Sara might care to comment if she feels some of the contexts she
mentions strengthen her in her relations with the others?
