Workshop EME, Columbia Journalism School, New York, 24 Sept. 2014
Un workshop sur EME avec Bruno Latour est organisé par la Columbia Journalism School au Brown Institute for Media Innovation, le mercredi 24 septembre à partir de 12:00.
The printed book is part of a larger digital platform, AIME, through which the book has been augmented and modified by interested readers and co-authors. As an introduction to the discussion, Latour will report on the results of this two-year experiment in collective digital scholarship.
Participants should plan to explore in advance both the book and the expanded digital discussion at modesofexistence.org (simple registration required). While the book is also available as a 500-page printed text, the digital version includes the notes, glossaries, and extended discussions that offer a more readable introduction to the project. An Inquiry Into Modes of Existence offers positive answers to the question raised only in negative form in Latour's celebrated 1991 book, We Have Never Been Modern. The latter book is a useful introduction to Latour's work

AIME is no encyclopaedia so why do readers criticise it for what's not in: chemical industry, Middle East etc? Why not picking what's in it?
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 24 Septembre 2014The AIME project does not cover everything it focuses on a narrow set of issues: how to react to the beings that make us act & define them?
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 24 Septembre 2014It's not really productive to ask what's the 'we' of 'we moderns' since the AIME project is a) define the modes b) then see who is the 'we'
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 24 Septembre 2014It's because 'modern' is so vague and because everyone is modern in some ways that to criticize the 'we' is so empty: let's start elsewhere.
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 24 Septembre 2014By a pluralistic standpoint what academics mean is generalized indifference to ontological content: AIME is pluralist in ontological formats
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 24 Septembre 2014Thanks to Mark Hansen at Brown institute, Columbia, for the high tech room: never was AIME presented within such a massively digital setting
