Editing Actor–network theory (section)

=== Literary criticism ===
The literary critic [[Rita Felski]] has argued that ANT offers the fields of [[literary criticism]] and [[cultural studies]] vital new modes of interpreting and engaging with literary texts. She claims that Latour's model has the capacity to allow "us to wiggle out of the straitjacket of suspicion," and to offer meaningful solutions to the problems associated with [[critique]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Limits of Critique|last=Felski|first=Rita|publisher=University of Chicago Press|year=2015|isbn=9780226294032|location=Chicago|pages=175}}</ref> The theory has been crucial to her formulation of [[postcritique]]. Felski suggests that the purpose of applying ANT to literary studies "is no longer to diminish or subtract from the reality of the texts we study but to amplify their reality, as energetic coactors and vital partners."<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Limits of Critique|last=Felski|pages=185}}</ref>
