Main ideas and question of Latour

ZhaoyrCecilia's picture

In Agency at the Time of Anthropocene, by Bruno Latour, the three main ideas are:

·      The idea of “subject and object”. The human and the human actions are visible objects. However, human and human actions are at the same time subjective

·      “Human story” created in a form of science article or generally created by literature language somehow change the “natural history.”

·      It is important for politics to notice and act to the “metamorphic zone”

 

Question for Latour: If “all the agents share the same shape-changing destiny”, is it means that if we try to do some changes, the whole world will be able to change and their destiny will be the same as ours?
