Abstract	his paper explores the intersection of network theory, Actor-Network Theory (ANT), and quantum humanities within cinema and media studies. Building upon Bruno Latour’s Reassembling the Social (2005), this study examines how networks function within cultural productions, particularly in cinematic constructions of epistemes and social realities. By integrating concepts from quantum cognition, this research investigates the interplay between microcosmic and macrocosmic dynamics in filmic representations. The paper ultimately aims to redefine network structures in cinema, situating them within a broader semiotic and ontological framework. Furthermore, this paper aims to create an understanding of the methodologies discussed and how they can transform research in the social sciences and humanities by providing a more comprehensive and quantifiable approach to analyzing cultural and ideological structures.
