"With the rise of science, we moderns believe, the world changed irrevocably, separating us forever from our primitive, premodern ancestors. But if we were to let go of this fond conviction, Bruno Latour asks, what would the world look like? His book, an anthropology of science, shows us how much of modernity is actually a matter of faith. What does it mean to be modern? What difference does the scientific method make? The difference, La ..."
" What can one man accomplish, even a great man and brilliant scientist? Although every town in France has a street named for Pasteur, was he alone able to stop people from spitting, persuade them to dig drains, influence them to undergo vaccination? Pasteur's success depended upon a whole network of forces, including the public hygiene movement, the medical profession (both military physicians and private practitioners), and colonial i ..."
"Technology is everywhere, yet a theory of technology and its social dimension remains to be fully developed. Building on the influential book The Social Construction of Technological Systems, this volume carries forward the project of creating a theory of technological development and implementation that is strongly grounded in both sociology and history. The 12 essays addr ..."

"What makes us modern? This is a classic question in philosophy as well as in political science. However it is often raised without including science and technology in its definition. The argument of this book is that we are modern as long as we split our political process in two - between politics proper, and science and technology. This division allows the formidable expansion of the Western empires. However it has become more and more ..."

"Nous partageons tous la vie des techniques, mais nous avons de la peine à le penser car il y a peu d'effort organisé pour retrouver le fil de la technologie générale. Initiée par Leroi-Gourhan, cette technologie aurait assez d'ambition pour parcourir l'ensemble des liens techniques et des sociétés depuis les sociétés de primates jusqu'à celles que l'on appelle, fort improprement, post-industrielles. Ce livre collectif veut participer à ..."
"Aramis est un métro automatique, que l'on a failli construire au Sud de Paris. J'en ai fait le héros d'un dossier de scientifiction. Toutes les aventures de ce héros non humain sont véridiques. Mais elles n'apparaissent jamais vraisemblables, parce que nous ne sommes pas habitués à enquêter en détail sur les amours et les haines des techniques de pointe. Pour la première fois, je crois, l'histoire d'une enquête de sociologie et l'histoi ..."

"Pollution des rivières, embryons congelés, virus du sida, trou d'ozone, robots à capteurs... : ces " objets " étranges qui envahissent notre monde relèvent-ils de la nature ou de la culture ? Comment les comprendre ? Jusqu'ici, les choses étaient simples : aux scientifiques la gestion de la nature, aux politiques celle de la société. Mais ce traditionnel partage des tâches devient de plus en plus impuissant à rendre compte de la prolifé ..."
