After Word? – On Some Dynamics of Duality Interrogation

Or: Why Bonfires Are Not Enough

Steve Woolgar

University of Oxford.

The excellent contributions to this special issue are organized around a duality between sociality and materiality. They argue for greater emphasis on materiality. This article reflects upon what sustains the dichotomy between sociality and materiality, noting in particular the importance of the use and management of boundaries. The article asks whether and how dichotomies themselves might fruitfully become the target of social science analysis.

Key Words: duality • materiality • sociality • virtuality
