The Cultural Studies Review e-book is available as a downloadable PDF file.
The tag of this issue of Cultural Studies Review echoes Latour’s challenge for a recall of modernity. This ‘recall’ will enquire into what has gone wrong, repair, and move on through an existing postmodernity which is nothing but ‘an interesting symptom of transition’ that can be used to ‘bring about the end of modernism more quickly’. The site of this transformation is Latour’s familiar-seeming world where the effort is not simply to know but to be ‘capable of a sustained existence in one place’. No simple call for ecological reform is being made in Latour’s evocation of sustainability, but rather the imagining of a deeply pluralistic thinking where the planet will be brought together again without the old divisions into culture and
nature, modern and not–modern.
