I was asked today about my theory of conversation. It honestly hadn't occurred to me, but of course there are theories of conversation, there are theories of everything. But I admit, my eyes begin to roll when I read, as in thsi paper, sentences like "The subject recognizes an Other, something that is epistemologically far" where the word 'Other' is capitalized. Things like this seem hopelessly vague to me: "Praxis = Reflection + Interaction + Action." My response was that what I had just presented was my 'theory of conversation' - which, of course, is inadequate. But I don't think there is a network theory of conversation per se and I'm not sure one is needed. I could be wrong.
