Reassembling the Social is a fundamental challenge from one of the world's leading social theorists to how we understand society and the social. When the adjective is applied to a phenomenon, it is used to indicate a stabilized state of affairs, a bundle of ties that in due course may be used to account for another phenomenon. Bruno Latour's contention is that the word social as used by Social Scientists has become laden with assumptions to the point where it has become a misnomer.
It has become a word that designates two distinct things: a process of assembling: and a type of material, Latour also finds the word used as if it described a type of material, in a comparable way to an adjective such as wooden or steely.Rather than simply indicating what is already assembled together, it is now used in a way that makes assumptions about the nature of what is assembled.
