people > circle members >   Bruno Latour   Bruno Latour was trained as a philosopher and an anthropologist in France. After field studies in Africa and California he specialized in the analysis of scientists and engineers at work. In addition to his work in philosophy, history, sociology and the anthropology of science, he has collaborated on many studies of science policy and research management. He has written a number of books on what could be called the anthropology of the modern world, including Science in Action and The Pasteurization of France. Other published works include: an essay on symmetric anthropology, We have never been modern (translated into thirteen languages); a field study on an automatic subway system Aramis or the love of technology; and a piece on the political philosophy of the environment, Politiques de la nature. Latour has taught at engineering schools in France for over twenty years and is currently attached to the École des Mines in Paris. In recent years he has also served as one of the curators of successful art exhibitions at the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie in Karlsruhe, Germany, including Iconoclash (2002) and Making Things Public (2005). -- Zamyn, South Building, Somerset House, Strand, London, WC2R 1LA t.+44(0)20 7845 4681   f.+44(0)20 7845 4672   mail@zamyn.org   www.zamyn.org
