Iconoclash is when there is an uncertainty about what is committed when an image –from science, religion or art- is being smashed. The paper presents the rationale and the scene of an exhibit taking place in Germany and which aims at turning iconoclasm –and more generally the critical gesture- into a topic rather than a ressource. It contrasts the different pattern of confidence and diffidence into image in the three contrasted realm of science, religion and art.</p> Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:20:09 +0000 admin 64 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/147 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/147" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Modes of Existence Religion Studies <p>Using for the first time explicitly some of the results of the Inquiry into the Modes of Existence, the paper tackles the difficult question of the relations between ecology and theology. It first elicits the contrast between science –reference- and religion –presence- in their common opposition with common sense. Then, following Whitehead, it takes apart the notion of “nature » to show that it is composed of two different modes of existence (building on 99).</p> Mon, 03 Oct 2011 10:09:22 +0000 admin 147 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/167 Modes of Existence Religion Studies Viualization <p>Like other articles (43), (79), this article pursues the comparison between the religious and the scientific regimes of enunciations ; it tries in particular to explore the conditions of felicity of religious talks by distinguishing it from information ‘double click’ and shows that the link between belief and religion is a category mistake ; drawing on some of the iconograpy assembled for Iconoclash, it shows how scientific and religious images differ in the path they establish between successive images.</p> Tue, 04 Oct 2011 14:34:44 +0000 admin 167 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/183 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/183" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Modes of Existence Religion Studies <p>The search for the precise caracterization of regimes of enunciation leads to an exploration of different speech-acts. Religious enunciation, in a Christian tradition at least, implies a completely different type of transfer than information transfer, and also a very different one from reference chains. The enunciation structure is exemplified by the very form of a quasi-sermon which allows one to make visible again the distinction between reference-making and person-making.</p> Wed, 05 Oct 2011 15:25:56 +0000 admin 183 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/196 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/196" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Art History Religion Studies Viualization <p>Starting from the work done in the last fifteen years on the scientific vizualization, the paper connects both with art history -comparing the treatment of mediation in both fields, and from there to theology. The paper argues that it is possible to reopen the science/religion debate if religion is stripped of its belief in belief which has no other ground than a mistaken view of scientific information production. The case study is then deployed of the iconography of the Assomption. The transformation of information is then compared, in a systematic way with that of person transportation.</p> Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:46:19 +0000 admin 196 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/280 Modes of existence Religion Studies Viualization <p>Outline of the religious regime of enunciation through the study of four religious paintings; the comparison between the scientific representation and the religious re-presentation is illustrated through the work of Holbein.</p> Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:05:07 +0000 admin 280 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/479 Compositionism Ecology & Political Ecology Religion Studies Compositionnisme <p>In the framework of the Gifford Lectures, BL will give six lectures on what the new entity called Gaia - a complex mixture of mythical, spiritual and scientific characters - does to the political philosophy of nature and how its strange set of characters could shift the conversation of "science and religion" toward new territory.</p> Mon, 29 Oct 2012 16:45:50 +0000 admin 479 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/486 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/486" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Compositionism Ecology & Political Ecology Religion Studies Semiotics & Literature Studies <p>Bruno Latour has given the six Gifford Lectures on Natural Religion for 2013, under the title: Facing Gaia, Six Lectures on the Political Theology of Nature.</p> Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:18:05 +0000 admin 486 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/487 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/487" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Ecology & Political Ecology Religion Studies <p>Those six lectures in ‘natural religion’ explore what it could mean to live at the epoch of the Anthropocene when what was until now a mere décor for human history is becoming the principal actor. They confront head on the controversial figure of Gaia, that is, the Earth understood not as system but as what has a history, what mobilizes everything in the same geostory. Gaia is not Nature, nor is it a deity. In order to face a secular Gaia, we need to extract ourselves from the amalgam of Religion and Nature.</p> Sun, 03 Mar 2013 08:46:07 +0000 admin 487 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/496 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/496" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Modes of existence Religion Studies Modes d'existence Religion <p>Rejoicing – or the torments of religious speech: that is what he wants to talk about, that is what he can’t actually seem to talk about: it’s as though the cat had got his tongue; as though he was spoilt for choice when it comes to words; as though it was impossible to articulate; he can’t actually seem to share what, for so long, he has held so dear to his heart; before his nearest and dearest, he is forced to cover up; he can only stutter; how can he own up to his friends, to his colleagues, his nephews, his students?</p> Mon, 08 Apr 2013 06:37:55 +0000 admin 496 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr
