Bruno Latour

<p>French sociologist and philosopher Bruno Latour is one of the most significant and creative thinkers of the last decades. <em>Bruno Latour: Hybrid Thoughts in a Hybrid World</em> is the first comprehensive and accessible English-language introduction to this multi-faceted work. The book focuses on core Latourian themes:</p><p>• contribution to science studies (STS – Science Technology & Society)</p><p>• philosophical approach to the rise and fall of modernity</p><p>• innovative thoughts on politics nature and ecology</p><p>• contribution to the branch of sociology known as ANT – Actor-Network Theory.</p><p>With ANT Latour has pioneered an approach to socio-cultural analysis built on the notion that social life arises in complex networks of actants – people things ideas norms technologies and so on – influencing each other in dynamic ways. This book explores how Latour helps us make sense of the changing interrelations of science technology society nature and politics beyond modernity.</p>
