http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/article en http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/946 Ecology & Political Ecology <p>Ladies and gentlemen, I first reminded you of Emile Boutmy project; I then sketched, alas very superficially, the new curriculum necessary to fulfill our duties as educators in the New Climatic Regime; and I concluded, again much too briefly, on the big turnaround that will shift the research university out of a model so ill-adapted for a situation it could not anticipate. I apologise that I have not found a better way to entertain you during the celebration of our School which more than ever deserves a Latin motto: “primus sine paribus”. Thank you for your patience.</p> Sun, 25 Sep 2022 14:31:20 +0000 admin1 946 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/918 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/918" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Ecology & Political Ecology Religion Studies <p>Since I am unable to speak as a theologian at this conference, I am addressing you as someone who has tried to grasp what the ecological mutation is doing to philosophy; and also as someone who has always been inspired by Catholicism, and has been frustrated at being unable to transmit its message to my loved ones. So in this lecture I shall try to link these two crises: that of ecology and that of transmission. I want to see if a different understanding of the mutation currently under way would make it possible to revisit the message in a different way.</p> Fri, 08 Oct 2021 08:36:10 +0000 admin1 918 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/920 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/920" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Semiotics & Literature Studies Social Theory <p>This is the first time that the philosopher, social scientist, 2013 Holberg Prizewinner, and, as of last month, recipient of a Kyoto Prize Bruno Latour has spoken extensively about his writing practices while denying that he is a ‘writer’ in the strictly literary sense. Drawn out sensitively and expertly by Emanuele Coccia, himself a writer on ecologies, we discover much more about Latour, the writer of networks. He has become such an active ‘agent’ in literary and scholarly networks that he is now perhaps this century’s most cited intellectual.</p> Fri, 08 Oct 2021 08:48:56 +0000 admin1 920 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/893 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/893" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Ecology & Political Ecology <p>Lecture given on the 23rd of November at Radboud Reflects Nijmegen at the occasion of the Spinozalens prize 2020.

Neither the World, nor the Globe, nor the Earth, nor the Global — to take a few of the steps he recorded — are actually the places where humans reside.</p> Mon, 15 Jun 2020 09:42:26 +0000 admin 865 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/837 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/837" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Ecology & Political Ecology History of Science <p><a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/2053019620918939" rel="nofollow">Article accessible on TAC website</a></p> Wed, 22 Jan 2020 10:36:39 +0000 admin 837 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/823 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/823" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Compositionism Ecology & Political Ecology History of Science Politics Technology Viualization <p>— “Landing on Earth? Why would anyone attempt to land there? Are we not already on Earth?”<br /> Well, not quite! And that’s the circumstance this book tries to present to the inquiring reader: it seems that there has been in the past some misinterpretation over what it means to be earthly. If you believe it means “practical”, “mundane”, “secular”, “material” or even “materialist”, you’re in for a surprise.</p> Fri, 08 Nov 2019 08:25:36 +0000 admin 823 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/828 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/828" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Ecology & Political Ecology <p>CM — This time I’d like to talk to you about politics, rather than about your philosophy or anthropology. You will appreciate the importance of this, for me, coming from Latin America, especially after the publication of Down to Earth. We are all bursting with questions.<br /> BL—How do you mean, ‘we’?<br /> CM —Lots of people were surprised by this, your first really political book, very committed even, even left wing, and I’m acting as a go-between for a fair number of political groups, activists, not just academics. A lot of people back home are reading you in Spanish.</p> Sat, 21 Dec 2019 18:19:45 +0000 admin 828 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/808 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/808" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Actor-Network-Theory Ecology & Political Ecology Social Theory <p>How in our right mind could we have the idea of convening in one three-day meeting political philosophers with scientists working on ants, baboons, cells, natural parks, together with historians of capitalism and — how totally bizarre! — specialists of the planet taken as a whole, namely Gaia — plus metaphysicians and historians of science thrown in, plus a bit of legal theory and a lot of social science to steer the pot further?</p> Tue, 09 Jul 2019 09:33:02 +0000 admin 808 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr
