Mapping an uncontroversial space: the use of digital technology in school counselling in Romania

The study employed an ethnographic methodology in an attempt to map the controversies surrounding the use of digital technology within the Romanian school counselling system. Mapping controversies is a method for retracing agency within actor-network theory. The results point towards the surprising absence of controversy within the explored field. This results from employing discursive tactics that remove the social aspect of the controversies and reduce them to the problem of enacting platformed bodies. By making the discursive space unconducive to controversies, the counselling system becomes vulnerable to the agendas of the numerous actors it ignores.
