Résumé
Actor-Network Theory proves particularly inspiring in reconsidering the tenets of quantitative research and computational methods in the social sciences. However, translating insights from this perspective into operational models is problematic. The paper examines, in the form of a dialogue, critical problems of the computational modelling of network topologies considered from the point of view of Actor-Network Theory. In particular, the paper discusses the impetus of simulation and the inappropriateness of the distinction between agents and links.
