ANTi-History

Gabrielle Durepos

Chapter 8 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Historical Organisation Studies, 2026, pp 31-34 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: ANTi-History is a critical approach the study of organisational histories. It is rooted in the literatures of postmodern historiography, the sociology of knowledge and actor-network theory. ANTi-History looks at the interest driven nature of actor as they form networks where the past gets forged into history (and vice versa). In using ANTi-History, one always looks in-between the relations of actors and their respective versions of history. Whilst realist and postmodern historians understand as their task to write history, ANTi-History focuses on tracing the relations of actors and surfacing each version and location where one past event gets performed as history.
