AIME/Latour Faculty Workshop
A faculty colloquium to discuss with Professor Latour his latest book, An Inquiry Into Modes of Existence: An Anthropology of the Moderns

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
