Abstract
In An Inquiry into Modes of Existence, Bruno Latour attempts to develop an anthropological
method that builds on their Actor-Network Theory. This thesis builds a multidisciplinary
application of Latour’s method, cultural anthropology, and Deleuze and Guattari, and applies
it to the field of educational philosophy. We focus on the question ‘What does it mean to act
and speak educationally?’ To do this this thesis will take three steps. Step One will consist of
using the cultural analytical ethnographic method of Reportage, followed by Latour’s
Actor-Network Theory, to then apply his radical new methodology of Inquiry. Step Two will
go a step further, and inspired by Latour and Maria Hlavajova it will focus on Proposition, by
imaging possibilities of how it could be otherwise. In the final Step Three, this thesis will try
to live this imagination. To conclude, this thesis argues that acting and speaking educationally
is to remind people of potential possibilities and the power of self-actualization.
