Today is the last day to write stuff in my journal. So I thought I would publish a couple of post throughout the evening. To start off, let me say, that this course was by far the most eyeopener (!) that I have attended so far. I discover a complete different panel of authors that I had never even heard about. So, I thought I would thank you by posting one of the most amazing song I have listened in the past ten years (Ok, I may be exaggerating a bit, but still, it is a pretty good song...)

Lately, I gave Latour a real treat. Or maybe did I give myself a treat? I read two of his book: We Have Never Been Modern and Reassembling the Social. Latour gives a brilliant twist to anthropology in his work, … Lire la suite →
