Bruno Latour's illustration of translation

Fig17. Latour (1999, 179) illustrates translation by showing how, for example, a person’s initial goal is thwarted in some fashion. This person takes up a tool, which has its own goal that the person must negotiate. Together the person and the tool arrive at a third goal that is somewhat different from each original goal.
