Bruno Latour is Professor and Vice President for Research at Sciences Po in Paris. His lecture "How Better to Register the Agency of Things: Semiotics" was given on March 26, 2014 as part of The Tanner Lectures on Human Values at the Whitney Humanities Center at Yale. This first lecture of two takes up the semiotics of how we describe things in the world. In this talk Latour describes his focus as the "trajectories of meanings." In the course of an argument about the commonalities between humanistic and scientific methods, he calls for a new commitment to defending the sciences and the humanities against their common enemy: those who would apply suspect standards of economic efficiency to academic institutions. Calling on both scientists and humanists to be "friends of the interpretable object," he implores them to embrace the act of "hairsplitting."

C'est fabuleux de se dire qu'avec si peut de moyen, Framasoft a réussi à transformer autant de choses.

President-elect Trump has called climate change a hoax, led his supporters in chants of “drill baby drill” and said he’d pull out of the Paris climate agreement. What should we expect from the Trump administration on climate and the environment?

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation between two Hugo award-winning science fiction authors, Becky Chambers and Annalee Newitz. Known for challenging classic science fiction tropes such as war, violence, and colonialism, both authors create vivid and immersive worlds that are filled with non-human persons, peace, and a subtle sense of hope. The authors will discuss what it means to take these alternative themes seriously, delve into their writing & world building process, and explore how science fiction can help us imagine new futures that can make sense of our current civilizational struggles.

Annalee Newitz is a science journalist and author. Their novel Autonomous won the Lambda Literary Award, and their nonfiction book Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age was a national bestseller. The Washington Post called their latest novel, The Terraformers, “a dazzling look at the distant future.” They are also the co-host of the Hugo Award-winning podcast Our Opinions Are Correct. With a focus on the social and political implications of technological change, Newitz has become one of the leading voices in contemporary science fiction.

Becky Chambers is a Hugo-Award winning science fiction author of the Wayfarers series and the Monk and Robot novellas. Her writing is characterized by a deep empathy for her characters and a keen sensitivity to the ways in which our relationships with others shape who we are. Through her novels, Chambers has crafted richly imagined worlds that challenge our assumptions about gender, race, and sexuality, and explore the possibilities and perils of technological progress.

Wendy Brown is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential American political theorists today. Her work has focused on the history of political thought, political economy, Continental philosophy, cultural theory and critical legal theory. She is best known for her interrogation of identity politics in States of Injury (1995); her critical analysis of tolerance in Regulating Aversion (2006); her account of globalization and the situation of nation states in Walled States, Waning Sovereignty (2010); and her two main studies of neoliberalism’s assault on democratic institutions in Undoing the Demos: Neoliberalism’s Stealth Revolution (2015) and In the Ruins of Neoliberalism (2019). Brown is currently exploring how political freedom can be made responsive to the climate crisis. In this lecture, Professor Brown will present some of her insights on 'reparative democracy'.

This event is part of the ‘Critical Legal Talks Series’, an international collaboration between the QMUL Law Department and the Group of Critical Studies in Politics, Law and Society (PoDeS) at the University of Buenos Aires. The Series attempts to problematise the law and legal institutions from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective and provide a platform for discussion around global (in)justice for researchers aiming to bridge the Global North/South divide.

"On this earth there are pestilences and there are victims, and it's up to us, so far as possible, not to join forces with the pestilences. That may sound simple to the point of childishness; I can't judge if it's simple, but I know it's true." - Albert Camus, The Plague
