Senior Loeb Scholar Lecture: Bruno Latour, “A Tale of Seven Planets - An Exercise in Gaiapolitics”

Until recently the expression ‘we don't live in the same planet' was a metaphorical way of expressing no more than a disagreement. Today it has taken a literal meaning that the lecture will pursue in trying to map contrasted definitions of what used to be called “the natural world”.
Bruno Latour is now emeritus professor associated with the médialab and the program in political arts (SPEAP) of Sciences Po Paris. Since January 2018 he is for two years fellow at the Zentrum fur Media Kunst (ZKM) and professor at the HfG both in Karlsruhe. Member of several academies and recipient of six honorary doctorate, he is the recipient in 2013 of the Holberg Prize. He has written and edited more than twenty books and published more than one hundred and fifty articles. You can find more informations on his website (www.bruno-latour.fr/).

incredible lecture, and brilliant spatialisation and articulation of the new climatic regime shows how architects can not really imagine anything beyond "four walls and a roof ", literally... The authority of a profession once again down the drain...

Who is the introducer? He made a fool of himself with his comments and questions. Seems like he misinterpreted most of the points Latour made in his presentation.
