In this position paper I will present some reflections about the ontological modelling activity interpreted by leveraging on the philosophical account of critical realism, proposed by Karen Barad. I will try to reason on the implications of seeing the modelling activity like an agential cut, an act which allows the properties of entities to become locally determinate and provides meaning to the concepts that are used to talk about such entities and their properties. I will conclude by sketching some possible research directions that can be pursued to reflect the sociomaterial aspects of the modelling activity.

Abstract
In this position paper I will present some reflections about the ontological modelling activity interpreted by leveraging on the philosophical account of critical realism, proposed by Karen Barad. I will try to reason on the implications of seeing the modelling activity like an agential cut, an act which allows the properties of entities to become locally determinate and provides meaning to the concepts that are used to talk about such entities and their properties. I will conclude by sketching some possible research directions that can be pursued to reflect the sociomaterial aspects of the modelling activity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
