Facing Gaia by Bruno Latour
Eight Lectures on the New Climatic Regime
A provocative set of meditations arguing that the onset of the new climatic regime forces a radical rethinking of politics, science and modernity: the Earth must be acknowledged as an active agent that dissolves the nature/society split, compels collective responsibility, and requires new forms of territorialized, experimental politics rather than abstract universalism, denial, or fatalism. The book reframes the climate crisis as a matter of reassembling attachments and institutions — creating democratic forums that include nonhuman agencies, inventing modes of composure and accountability, and reorienting governance toward concrete localities and shared vulnerabilities so societies can respond to planetary transformations.
