Kommentar/Beschreibung

In this reading seminar, we will be looking at the renowned French anthropologist, sociologist, and philosopher Bruno Latour, who gained worldwide fame for his actor-network theory. In his current publications, he dedicates himself to the re-calibration of nature and social relations and proposes thought-provoking concepts of nature and earth resp. climate politics.
In addition to his current publications, we will look at the origins and inspirations of his work, including other authors such as Donna Haraway, Lynn Margulis, James Lovelock, Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, and artistic works such as those by Olafur Eliasson ("Symbiotic Seeing").
