Join us in reading Bruno Latour's Down to Earth: Politics in the New Climatic Regime in our online group.

Continuing our exploration of the multiple ecologies of the contemporary, the Slow Reading Group will be tackling Bruno Latour’s Down to Earth. Politics in the New Climatic Regime, starting on 15th May.

Down to Earth, originally published in French in 2017, the year after the election of Donald Trump, is one of Latour’s more explicitly political books. It explores politics in the context of ecological degradation on a planetary scale.

Before his recent and untimely death Bruno Latour had been known particularly for his work in the study of science and technology, being closely associated with Actor Network Theory. In the last decade of his life, he turned more directly to questions about ecology.

As with all our previous Slow Reading sessions, we will be reading Down To Earth together, out loud and slowly. No special expertise is needed to participate in these sessions other than an interest in contemporary ecological issues, reading with others, and a willingness to discuss ideas.

A PDF copy of the text will be sent to all participants before the event.

Online. Free. Limited Capacity. Booking required.

Following sessions: Mon 15 May, Mon 19 Jun, Mon 17 July, Mon 18 Sep, Mon 16 Oct, Mon 20 Nov, Mon 18 Dec. All sessions online.
