Description
CRASSH lectures supported by the Thriplow Charitable Trust
Professor Bruno Latour
Professor Bruno Latour will give the penultimate lecture in a series of five lectures on Understanding Society. The series culminates in a panel discussion at Kings Place on Tuesday 27 November 2012.
Abstract
This lecture takes place between the French publication of Bruno Latour's An Inquiry into Modes of Existence: An Anthropology of the Moderns and the full version of the digital platform in English that allows the inquiry to unfold. This lecture will present the project both in its content – an anthropology of the moderns – and in its procedure – an exploration of the possibility of digital tools to develop academic books as well as collective research.
More about An Inquiry into Modes of Existence: An Anthropology of the Moderns.
Bruno Latour comes to CRASSH as a Mellon CDI (Centre for Disciplinary Innovation) fellow. Further details on his associated seminars will be available in due course.
The lectures are free and open to all, no registration required.
