Rather than focusing on something like global capitalism, ANT advocates studying particular sites, such as Wall Street dealing rooms, tracing out how they become ‘global’ through the density and reach of the connections that they have to other sites. Like Massey, advocates of ANT also contest ideas of places being self-contained and bounded, instead looking to document how ‘what is acting at the same moment in any one place is coming from many other places, many distant materials, many faraway actors’ (Latour, 2005: 200). Both the local and the global are imagined as having ‘networky shapes’ comprising ‘the intersections of many trails’
