As therapist-researchers we have sought reflexive methods of inquiry that help people zoom in and out on the assemblages and networks that sustain particular practices. Seeing the questions and representations of any inquiry as reflexive or socially constructive, given what they might bring forth (Tomm, 1987), in this chapter we also presented considerations for researching socio-material practices in zooming in and zooming out ways. We drew heavily from Clarke's (2005, Clarke et al., 2017) Situational Analysis, a theory-methods package that uses maps to zoom in and out of situations and the practices (i.e., doings, sayings, relatings) that comprise them.

Assemblages have indeterminate qualities, yet develop in ways that create particular conditions of possibility inside which a range of socio-material practices might develop. Corners of today's Internet assemble highly distinctive practices that would have been impossible without the technology. Networked practices, in contrast, are sustained in patterned familiarities that are sequentially connected so that engagement in one socio-material practice almost foretells engaging in an ‘inevitable’ next practice. Whether researching assembled or networked socio-material practices we aim to make their conditions and predictable sequences for unacceptably familiar reproduction evident in ways that enable new thinking, dialogue and actions.
