\n Green futures may be conceptually addressed as a relational effect of material and semiotic practices or processes. Futures, in this respect, may refer either to claims in the present about the future or, within a linear time ontology, to whatever happens after the present. I wonder how green futures are prefigured in baseline accounts in environmental monitoring and assessment infrastructures. The Foucauldian notion of the dispositif sensitises me to explore both the simultaneously semiotic and material problematisation and configuration in such environmental accountability infrastructures.

\n This poster provides a methodological perspective to study human actors and the socio-technical devices and settings in and through which they perform governance. By way of linking Actor-Network theory and Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus and field the agency of humans may be explored. This suggests to studies of governance a perspective to reconsider its conception of the role of individuals in the \"doing\" of governance. For this methodological endeavor I draw on organisational sociology and Science and Technology Studies. Both provide promising resources to conceptualise how actors are situated and embedded in socio-technical assemblages which may provide the source of agents' power to govern. This approach will be illustrated by ethnographic material of agents participating in the environmental governance of the financial services sector.
