The fluid sensor. Narrative of a laboratory study

Abstract

In this article, I present the preliminary outcomes of the field work that I have been developing during the last two years, a laboratory study based on the Actor-Network theory which will be the nucleus of my Ph.D. thesis. Facing the challenge of writing this thesis, I analyze different possible ways of presenting what I have been witnessing in the laboratory. Finally, I propose the possibility of describing the sensor I have been studying as a multiple entity which perhaps might be described using the concept of wrapping.
