Citations in the corpus
- Unveiling Professional Development: A Critical Review of Stage Models (2006, background): “Moreover, as empirical research demonstrates (Billett, 2001; Borko et al., 1997; Mol, 2002), each practice varies considerably across contexts, as does what is regarded as skillful performance in each context.”
- Bots, bespoke, code and the materiality of software platforms (2014, methodology): “This is a technique I draw from Annemarie Mol's The Body Multiple (2002), which she uses to emphasize the multiple epistemologies and materialities simultaneously at work in her study of atherosclerosis – an argument that resonates with my study of bots.”
- Algorithms as culture: Some tactics for the ethnography of algorithmic systems (2017, neutral): “Consequently, objects acted on in many different ways become ‘‘multiples’’: ‘‘more than one and less than many’’ (Mol, 2002: 82).”
- Actor-Network Theory: sensitive terms and enduring tensions (2010, neutral): “51 For the cathedrals, see Turnbull (2000); and for the signallers see Law and Mol (2002).”
- From data fetishism to quantifying selves: Self-tracking practices and the other values of data (2017, background): “In response to enthusiastic accounts of the advent of Big Data and datafication (Mayer-Schönberger and Cukier, 2013), critical studies have begun to emerge that point out that the data sets that make up Big Data are always creations of human design, and thus are always implicated in social relations”
- Living Multiples: How Large-scale Scientific Data-mining Pursues Identity and Differences (2013, background): “Anne-Marie Mol (2002: 6) writes: if it is not removed from the practices that sustain it, reality is multiple.”
- Actor-Network Theory and its role in understanding the implementation of information technology developments in healthcare (2010, background): “In a similar vein, Mol describes how to do an ethnography of a disease[53].”
- The wrong bin bag: A turn to ontology in science and technology studies? (2013, background): “By moving away from questions of ‘knowledge’ and ‘representation’, concerns over accuracy of reference and epistemic commensurability are meant to wither away in favour of, as Mol (2002) puts it, a new curiosity about ‘the way objects are enacted in practices’ (p. vii).”
