Unfortunately, Draftback does not capture formatting, images, or marginalia, but it does provide a point of view on the emergence of The Untext that I have not been able to generate any other way.…

How Does rhizoANT Work?
In my previous post, I summarized Farzana Dudhwala’s article What is Actor-Network Theory?, but I didn’t really explore what it might mean for the rhizo14 collaborative autoethnography (CAE). I want to do that here.
