Стремясь расширить список подходов и инструментов, применяемых в ANT, Ло обращается к материальной семиотике. Он показывает ее как совокупность тем, стимулирующих чувствительность исследователя к проблеме полисемантичности в конкретном поле. Вместе с тем его материальная семиотика имплицитно содержит критику версии семиотики Греймаса, развиваемую Латуром. В версии Ло семиотика описывает практики производства множественных реальностей, а также поддержания неопределенности и многозначности, в то время как семиотика Латура имеет более инструментальное значе ние, показывая, как конкретные акторы, создавая правила, устраняют полисемантичность и формируют общий порядок. В статье показано, что указанное противоречие связано с разным подходом к решению вопроса о прослеживании длины сетей отношений, создаваемых акторами. Однако сам этот вопрос является эмпирическим. В статье исследуется конкретный кейс взаимодействия в практиках Центра помощи детям и взрослым с ментальными и физическими нарушениями. Показано, что проблема полисемантичности и неопределенности имеет два решения: ограничение сети через «в-ключение» автора сообщения и поддержание полисемантичности через «частичные соединения».</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>John Law notes that — by the early 1990s — Latour’s approach contained the entirety of the principles of actor-network theory: attention to heterogeneous relations, use of semiotic tools, adherence to symmetry in describing the truth or false statements, performativity of practices, focus on circulations, predisposition to case studies. Expanding the list of approaches and tools used in the ANT, Law turns to material semiotics. He aspires to show it as a set of themes that stimulate the researcher’s sensitivity to the problem of polysemanticity in a particular field. At the same time, his version of material semiotics implicitly contains a critique of the of Greimas’ semiotics developed by Latour. Law’s vision describes practices of producing multiple realities, maintaining uncertainties and the polysemantic. In contrast, Latour’s semiotics are more instrumental, showing how particular actors eliminate multiplicity by creating common rules. The article shows that the contradiction between Latour’s semiotics and Law’s material semiotics is related to the question of tracing the networks’ length created by heterogenous actors. However, this question is empirical. The article explores a particular case of interaction from the practices of a center for the development and socialization of children and adults with mental disabilities. It is shown that the problem of polysemanticity and uncertainties has two solutions: limiting the network through a “shifting in” of the “enunciator” and maintaining polysemanticity through “partial connections”.</p><p> </p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>акторно-сетевая теория</kwd><kwd>материальная семиотика</kwd><kwd>неопределенность</kwd><kwd>значение</kwd><kwd>исследования инвалидности</kwd><kwd>частичные соединения</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>actor-network theory</kwd><kwd>material semiotics</kwd><kwd>uncertainties</kwd><kwd>meaning</kwd><kwd>disability studies</kwd><kwd>partial connections</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group xml:lang="ru"><funding-statement>Статья подготовлена в рамках гранта, предоставленного Министерством науки и  высшего образования Российской Федерации (№ соглашения о предоставлении гранта: 075-15-2022-326).</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Де Лает М., Мол А.
