A great book about the contemporary politics of the world
Bruno Latour is a great author, philosopher, anthropologist, and sociologist. In this book, for me that have read some of the others books of Latour, I think that in this he summarize him conception of the non humans like actors. But, in this time he expand it to politics. The ?Terrestrial? is now one new actor: new because the events that we are seeing doesn?t happened before (the Brexit, the migrations, etc), but this remember the ancient concept of ?nature?, as a process. The expression of Gaia, by James Lovelock, is summarized in this book, be ause this new vector (or actor), the Terrestiral, simbolize the actions that land makes that comes to politics. The book is more than I could express in this little space, but it certain a very magnificent point of view from our new situation: we need to land in somewhere, without the binary ?Global? or ?Local?, but, instead, knowing that we are in one land and the other actors, the non humans, is too in politics. Please, reed this book!
