Bruno Latour suggests that the widespread popularity of conspiracy theories in mass culture may be due, in part, to the pervasive presence of Marxist-inspired critical theory and similar ideas in academia since the 1970s.

This was then eventually popularized in various European countries – in France it was popular from about 1810 – 1850, via such books as Le Langage des Fleurs (" The Language of Flowers ", 1819, Charlotte de Latour ), while in Britain it was popular during the Victorian age ( roughly 1820 – 1880 ), in the US about 1830 – 1850, and spread worldwide.

As Bruno Latour recently put it, " Scientists always stomp around meetings talking about ' bridging the two-culture gap ', but when scores of people from outside the sciences begin to build just that bridge, they recoil in horror and want to impose the strangest of all gags on free speech since Socrates: only scientists should speak about science!

Writing about these developments in the context of global warming, Bruno Latour noted that " dangerous extremists are using the very same argument of social construction to destroy hard-won evidence that could save our lives.

Figures engaged in technocritical scholarship and theory include Donna Haraway and Bruno Latour ( who work in the closely related field of science studies ), N. Katherine Hayles ( who works in the field of Literature and Science ), Phil Agree and Mark Poster ( who works in intellectual history ), Marshall McLuhan and Friedrich Kittler ( who work in the closely related field of media studies ), Susan Squier and Richard Doyle ( who work in the closely related field of medical sociology ), and Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Martin Heidegger, and Michel Foucault ( who sometimes wrote about the philosophy of technology ).

René de Latour wrote: " There is a question mark about Hugo Koblet's life, the mystery of why he was never as good again as in the 1951 Tour.

The principal writers in the Romonsch dialect, generally the less literary of the two, in the 19th century are Theodor von Castelberg ( 1748 – 1830 ), a poet and translator of poetry, and P. A. de Latour ( about 1811 ) also a poet, while the best of all poets in this dialect was Anton Huonder, whose lyrics are considered remarkable.

The grand vin Chateau Latour, typically a blend of 75 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 % Merlot, with the remainder Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, normally has an annual production of 18, 000 cases.

The second wine Les Forts de Latour, typically 70 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 30 % Merlot, has an average annual production of 11, 000 cases.

This book is expected to include contributions that philosophically reflect the Latourian ( including a contribution from Latour himself ) as well as Deleuzian approaches to Tarde, and to also highlight a number of new ways Tarde is being adapted in terms of methods in contemporary sociology, particularly in the area of ethnography, and the study of online communities.

Latour notes that such social criticism has been appropriated by those he describes as conspiracy theorists, including global warming skeptics and the 9 / 11 Truth movement: “ Maybe I am taking conspiracy theories too seriously, but I am worried to detect, in those mad mixtures of knee-jerk disbelief, punctilious demands for proofs, and free use of powerful explanation from the social neverland, many of the weapons of social critique .” ( p. 230 )

In particular, Karin Knorr-Cetina, Bruno Latour, Barry Barnes, Steve Woolgar, and others used social constructionism to relate what science has typically characterized as objective facts to the processes of social construction, with the goal of showing that human subjectivity imposes itself on those facts we take to be objective, not solely the other way around.

Although his studies of scientific practice were at one time associated with social constructionist approaches to the philosophy of science, Latour has diverged significantly from such approaches.

The book includes long extracts from the works of Jacques Lacan, Julia Kristeva, Paul Virilio, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Luce Irigaray, Bruno Latour, and Jean Baudrillard who are considered by some to be leading academics of Continental philosophy, critical theory, psychoanalysis or social sciences.

" Subsequently, Latour has suggested a re-evaluation of sociology's epistemology based on lessons learnt from the Science Wars: "… scientists made us realize that there was not the slightest chance that the type of social forces we use as a cause could have objective facts as their effects.

Along with Michel Callon and John Law, Latour is one of the primary developers of actor – network theory ( ANT ), a constructionist approach influenced by the ethnomethodology of Harold Garfinkel, the generative semiotics of Greimas, and ( more recently ) the sociology of Durkheim's rival Gabriel Tarde.

Ahead of the International Exhibition in Paris, the selection of Latour as one of the four First Growths in the Classification of 1855 consolidated its reputation, and ensured its high prices.

He is an influential author in the field of Science and Technology Studies and one of the leading proponents of Actor-network theory ( ANT ) with Bruno Latour.

In 1995, Coppola reunited the two original Inglenook parcels by purchasing the grand Inglenook chateau and surrounding vineyards ( neighboring vineyards include Heitz Wine Cellars Martha ’ s Vineyard and Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour ).

Developed by two leading French STS scholars, Michel Callon and Bruno Latour, Law himself, and others, ANT may alternatively be described as a ' material-semiotic ' method.

Similarities between ANT and symbolic interactionist approaches such as the newer forms of grounded theory like situational analysis, exist, although Latour objects to such a comparison.

( p. 238 ) “ Do you see now why it feels so good to be a critical mind ?” asks Latour: no matter which position you take, “ You ’ re always right !” ( p. 238-239 )

The most popular of these were, text by Henry Pacory ;, text by Vincent Hyspa ;, a waltz ; ", text by Dominique Bonnaud / Numa Blès ;, a march ;, text by Contamine de Latour lost, but the music later reappears in ; and many more, many of which have been lost.

Also on the heels of the re-release of Tarde's works has come an important development in which French sociologist Bruno Latour has referred to Tarde as a possible predecessor to Actor-Network Theory in part because of Tarde's criticisms of Durkheim's conceptions of the Social.

Additionally, in 2010, Bruno Latour and Vincent Antonin Lepinay released a short book called The Science of Passionate Interests: An Introduction to Gabriel Tarde's Economic Anthropology, in which they show how Tarde's work offers a strong critique of the foundations of the economics discipline and economic methodology.

" This use of the term " network " is very similar to Deleuze and Guattari's rhizomes ; Latour even remarks tongue in cheek that he would have no objection to renaming ANT " actant-rhizome ontology " if it only had sounded better, which hints at Latour's uneasiness with the word " theory ".

The town, originally called Latour, grew up around the Longford Hotel which was built in 1827 by Newman Williatt, and in 1833 the town was renamed Longford.

The primary character is a bishop, Jean Marie Latour, who travels with his friend and vicar Joseph Vaillant from Sandusky, Ohio to New Mexico to take charge of the newly established diocese of New Mexico, which has only just become a territory of the United States.

Karl Popper called the process " conjectures and refutations ", which although expressing a core insight, has been shown to be too restrictive a characterization by the work of Michel Callon, Paul Feyerabend, Elihu M. Gerson, Mark Johnson, Thomas Kuhn, George Lakoff, Imre Lakatos, Bruno Latour, John Law, Susan Leigh Star, Anselm Strauss, Lucy Suchman, Ludwig Wittgenstein, etc ..

The “ state of the art ” of ANT in the late 1980s is well-described in Latour ’ s 1987 text, Science in Action

In a workshop called “ Actor Network and After ”, Bruno Latour stated that there are four things wrong with actor-network theory: “ actor ”, “ network ”, “ theory ” and the hyphen.

In a later book however ( Reassembling the Social: An Introduction to Actor – Network – Theory ), Latour reversed himself, accepting the wide use of the term, “ including the hyphen ” ( Latour 2005: 9 ).

He also remarked how he had been helpfully reminded that the ANT acronym “ was perfectly fit for a blind, myopic, workaholic, trail-sniffing, and collective traveler ” ( the ant, Latour 2005: 9 ) — qualitative hallmarks of actor-network epistemology.
