Literature is a form of human expression. But not everything expressed in wordsâeven when organized and written downâis counted as literature. Those writings that are primarily informativeâtechnical, scholarly, journalisticâwould be excluded from the rank of literature by most, though not all, critics.
To define these indicators, our team has applied the primary insights of actant network theory developed within the disciplines of Science and Technology Studies and the history of technology and science to create a pragmatic theory of technoscientific emergence.ithin actant networks perhaps the primary type of traffic-the most common form of relationship-is the pro-duction and exchange of terminological information. In-deed, for human actors within such a network, their under-standing of the technology or field is generated by their consumption of this linguistic traffic.
Heinz Kohler was involved in early idiotypic network research and was the first to suggest that idiotypic network interactions are symmetrical. Geoffrey W. Hoffmann developed a detailed immune network theory based on symmetrical stimulatory, inhibitory and killing interactions.hese V regions bind not only to things that are foreign to the vertebrate, but also to other V regions within the system. The immune system is therefore seen as a network, with the components connected to each other by V-V interactions.
