Abstract
In order to address the issue of what ANT can still learn from semiotics, the present contribution first retraces the connection between ANT and semiotics, showing how it is grounded in a shared interest for relationality and how it developed, since the end of the 1970s, as an exchange around a descriptive–analytical methodology. Indeed, Latour discovered in semiotics and, more specifically, in the semiotics elaborated by Algirdas Julien Greimas, a set of tools enabling him to account for the unfolding of agency, regardless of the ontological status of the agents. Then, the present contribution shows what new tools and what old descriptive–analytical tools ANT can learn still and again from Greimassian semiotics, given that in the 1990s, the relation between the two faded and ANT lost contact with Greimassian semiotics and partially also memory of such relation. The contribution ends listing the conditions at which ANT can learn from semiotics.
