It’s not just me who struggles with ANT vocabulary then?
The Time of Materiality, Sørensen, 2007
ANT emerges from poststructural orientations, and is more a diffuse cloud of sensibilities
Fenwick, T. (2015). Sociomateriality and Learning: a critical approach. The SAGE Handbook of Learning. London: Sage Publications, 83-93.
Fenwick, T., & Edwards, R. (2011). Introduction: Reclaiming and renewing actor network theory for educational research. Educational Philosophy and Theory, 43(s1), 1-14.

The over-riding insight of ANT views of the world is that all objects, as well as all persons, knowledge, and locations, are relational effects
Fenwick, T., & Edwards, R. (2011). Introduction: Reclaiming and renewing actor network theory for educational research. Educational Philosophy and Theory, 43(s1), 1-14.
My final contextual suggestion is that actor-network theory can also be understood as an empirical version of post-structuralism.
Law, J. (2009). Actor network theory and material semiotics. The new Blackwell companion to social theory, 3, 141-158. Chicago
