Summary:
Though scientific knowledge corresponds to only one of the many possible modes of existence Latour describes, an unrealistic vision of science has become the arbiter of reality and truth, seducing us into judging all values by a single standard. Latour implores us to recover other modes of existence in order to do justice to the plurality of truth conditions that Moderns(...)

Summary:
Though scientific knowledge corresponds to only one of the many possible modes of existence Latour describes, an unrealistic vision of science has become the arbiter of reality and truth, seducing us into judging all values by a single standard. Latour implores us to recover other modes of existence in order to do justice to the plurality of truth conditions that Moderns have discovered throughout their history. This systematic effort of building a new philosophical anthropology presents a completely different view of what Moderns have been, and provides a new basis for opening diplomatic encounters with other societies at a time when all societies are coping with ecological crisis.

Summary:
In this new book, Bruno Latour offers answers to questions raised in "We Have Never Been Modern", a work that interrogated the connections between nature and culture. If not modern, he asked, what have we been, and what values should we inherit? Over the last twenty-five years, Latour has developed a research protocol different from the actor-network theory with which his(...)

Summary:
In this new book, Bruno Latour offers answers to questions raised in "We Have Never Been Modern", a work that interrogated the connections between nature and culture. If not modern, he asked, what have we been, and what values should we inherit? Over the last twenty-five years, Latour has developed a research protocol different from the actor-network theory with which his name is now associated—a research protocol that follows the different types of connectors that provide specific truth conditions. These are the connectors that prompt a climate scientist challenged by a captain of industry to appeal to the "institution" of science, with its army of researchers and mountains of data, rather than to “capital-S Science” as a higher authority. Such modes of extension—or modes of existence, Latour argues here—account for the many differences between law, science, politics, and other domains of knowledge.

L'air, les océans, les glaciers, le climat, les sols : tout ce que nous avons rendu instable, interagit avec nous. Gaïa est le nom du retour sur Terre de tout ce que nous avions envoyé off shore. Nous sommes ces Terriens, qui se définissent politiquement comme ceux qui se préparent à regarder Gaïa de face. En explorant les mille figures de Gaïa, on peut déplier tout ce que la notion de Nature avait confondu : une éthique, une politique, une étrange conception des sciences et, surtout, une économie et même une théologie.

Price:
$63.00
(available to order)
Summary:
This book, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Center for New Art and Media (ZKM) in Karlsruhe, Germany, invokes three disparate realms in which images have assumed the role of cultural weapons. Monotheistic religions, scientific theories, and contemporary arts have struggled with the contradictory urge to produce and also destroy images and emblems. Moving beyond the image wars, ICONOCLASH shows that image destruction has always coexisted with a cascade of image production, visible in traditional Christian images as well as in scientific laboratories and the various experiments of contemporary art, music, cinema, and architecture. While iconoclasts have struggled against icon worshippers, another history of iconophily has always been at work. Investigating this alternative to the Western obsession with image worship and destruction allows useful comparisons with other cultures, in which images play a very different role. ICONOCLASH offers a variety of experiments on how to suspend the iconoclastic gesture and to renew the movement of images against any freeze-framing. The book includes major works by Art & Language, Willi Baumeister, Christian Boltanski, Daniel Buren, Lucas Cranach, Max Dean, Marcel Duchamp, Albrecht Dürer, Lucio Fontana, Francisco Goya, Hans Haacke, Richard Hamilton, Young Hay, Arata Isozaki, Asger Jorn, Martin Kippenberger, Imi Knoebel, Komar & Melamid, Joseph Kosuth, Gordon Matta-Clark, Tracey Moffat, Nam June Paik, Sigmar Polke, Stephen Prina, Man Ray, Sophie Ristelhueber, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and many others.

À travers ce reportage photographique réalisé à la fin des années 1990, Émilie Hermant et Bruno Latour ont entrepris de décortiquer ce qui constitue l’unicité de Paris, tant sur le plan sociologique que celui de l’urbanisme. Paris se donne si facilement au regard des peintres et des touristes, elle a si souvent été le sujet de beaux livres ou de photographies qu’on en oublie les difficultés des milliers d’ingénieurs, de techniciens, de fonctionnaires, d’habitants et de commerçants, pour la rendre visible. Ce livre tente, par le texte et par l’image, de cheminer à travers la ville en explorant quelques-unes des raisons qui nous empêchent de l’embrasser facilement d’un seul coup d’œil. Sous la forme d’une enquête photographique, Bruno Latour et Émilie Hermant nous font visiter des lieux, habituellement fermés aux passants, dans lesquels s’élaborent les innombrables techniques qui rendent la vie possible aux Parisiens (service des eaux, préfecture de police, périphérique, etc.) ces lieux dits « panoptiques » d’où l’on voit Paris tout entier.
