Bruno Latour; Technology is Society Made Durable PDF.
Object Oriented Ontology
"We observe a process of translation, not one of
reception, rejection, resistance, or acceptance." (116)
Bruno Latour; We Have Never Been Modern PDF complete.
"The smallest AIDS virus takes you from sex to the unconscious, then to Africa, tissue cultures, DNA and San Francisco, but the analysts, thinkers, journalists and decision-makers will slice the delicate network traced by the virus for you into tidy compartments where you will find only science, only economy, only social phenomena, only local news, only sentiment, only sex. Press the most innocent aerosol button and you'll be heading for the Antarctic, and from there to the University of California at Irvine, the mountain ranges of Lyon, the chemistry of inert gases, and then maybe to the United Nations, but this fragile thread will be broken into as many segments as there are pure disciplines. By all means, they seem to say, let us not mix up knowledge, interest, justice and power. Let us not mix up heaven and earth, the global stage and the local scene, the human and the nonhuman...on the left, they have put knowledge of things; on the right, power and human politics. " (2-3)

Dear Gabrielle Horne, my sister and muse,
when it rains I think of the grass in front of our house beaten from sun and coffee's feet.
The tea that you were always making,
the salmon color of the kitchen when I came home from Korea,
the Coluber Constrictor in the
pear tree outside the second-story window.
I wish I could be with everyone all the time. But, I can't.
Life is meant to be lonely.
Love,
Miss Missing

Finally, we have the aesthetic of action in complex systems. What must be coupled to complex systems analysis and modeling is a new form of action: improvisatory and capable of executing a design through a practice which works with the contingencies it discovers only in the course of its acting. This can be best described through the Ancient Greek concept of mêtis, a particular mode of cunning craft. Marcel Detienne and Jean-Pierre Vernant define mêtis, in contrast to poesis or techne, as “skill with materials guided by a kind of cunning intelligence.”

"What demystification uncovers is always something human, for example, the hidden quest for domination on the part of some humans over others, a human desire to deflect responsibility for harms done, or an unjust distribution of (human) power. Demystification tends to screen from view the vitality of matter and to reduce political agency to human capacity. Those are the tendencies that I resist." (preface, xv)
