Pickering, Andrew Coppin, Dawn Michelle 2015-09-28T15:00:45Z 2015-09-28T15:00:45Z 10000-01-01 2002 2002 I concluded that large-scale swine facilities, as the dominant manifestation of the current US swine industry, were a temporally emergent phenomenon---they were something new and unforeseen that involved the active participation of many social agents (such as farmers, consumers, laws, neighbors, land grant universities, capital investments, government agencies, agricultural companies, and grassroots organizations) and physical agents (such as swine, bacteria, building materials, medicine, and transportation technologies). All of these agents have interacted with one another in multiple and irreducible ways over the years to create a swine industry assemblage that is as much natural as it is social; thus environmental sociology would be better served if our work decentered the human and instead attended to all the agents.
