Morton 180: "Calling agency 'distributed' means that one doesn't really need to claim that this rock is acting. It is part of a network of actants, instead, acting insofar as it has effects on other things. It would be indecorous to pin the acting down to any one part of the network."
"to acknowledge distrbution is an aesthetic preference in an age of anxiety about authority"
is Morton critical of this notion? 182: "The distributed agency concept is simply an ambient version of the theistic patriarchal concept"
