#Latour was a giant, an indelible inspiration for me among many, who will be sorely missed, as others are articulating much more eloquently. But for me the lists of favorite texts I’ve seen are not hitting the mark, so this version focuses differently (and on the early days).
1) Callon and #Latour (1982) “unscrewing the big leviathan,” long before Tsing a different way of thinking about the #scales of phenomena, actors, projects as growing and shrinking; realities growing and shrinking in the same process.

2) #Latour (1984) “the powers of association,” a performative definition of society as continuously remade. Strong resonances to Foucault’s microphysics of power but in more dynamical terms. #performativity #power bruno-latour.fr/sites/default/…
Si on fact-checkait les traductions des romans? Il y a tellement de mauvaises traductions. Commençons par La Tour d'Uwe Tellkamp traduit par @OlivierMannoni et publié chez @EditionsGrasset A SUIVRE #VendrediLecture
Le livre, dont la traduction a été en partie financée par le Goethe Institut (@GI_Paris), raconte sur près de 1000 pages la vie d'un quartier de Dresde durant la dernière décennie de la RDA communiste avant la chute du Mur le 9 novembre 1989 #VendrediLecture
C'est un roman où des mollets très poilus deviennent en français des "mollets brun groseille". En allemand, l'expression idiomatique Stachelbeerwaden (littéralement mollets de groseille) sert à évoquer une pilosité abondante et piquante. #VendrediLecture #lostintranslation
Was thinking of starting a small series with the hashtag #WorstAcademicDiagrams but worried that they'd all end up being from Bruno Latour articles.
Prompted by this diagram, which has really got to me this afternoon #WorstAcademicDiagrams 
...but of course I know that there's much worse out there, like this with is also from Latour #WorstAcademicDiagrams
