Biographie d'une enquête. A propos d'un livre sur les modes d'existence
Open accessAbstract
Résumé La publication de l’ Enquête sur les modes d’existence (La découverte 2012), peut être quelque peu éclairée par un bref retour en arrière sur les étapes successives de cette anthropologie des Modernes commencée un quart de siècle auparavant. L’article reprend donc le cheminement intellectuel, commencé avec l’exégèse biblique puis continué dans « l’exégèse » des sciences et des techniques, qui a mené peu à peu à la présente enquête.

The insight that 'Nature' or 'the Social' or 'Society' is nothing more than what comes into being through ever-changing mediations is at the heart of Latour's anthropology.
“The insight that ' Nature ' or ' the Social ' or ' Society ' is nothing more (and nothing less) than what comes into being through these ever-changing mediations is at the heart of his anthropology, an enterprise he has lately described as ' a long struggle against the erasing of the work of the mediations ' (2012: 551).”

“This transition is a consequence of Latour’s growing hesitation about the possibilities of semiotics, and in particular its scope.(33) He states that ‘linguistic turns’ and semiotic approaches – even though they carefully focus on mediation – ‘they too have led us into an impasse [.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
