Everything about the ongoing genocide is absolutely and utterly insane but the “signing of bombs” that are going to be dropped on families and children is perhaps the most perverse form of writing ever to exist

Bruno Latour’s “Memo” is essentially a self-help book masquerading as a manifesto, or:
“A ‘how to’ book for would-be climate activists who yearn to escape their existential inertia but are still too timid to blow up a pipeline.”
✨ Excited to publish with
@NewLeftReview
✨
Dominique Routhier (
@docteur_en_rien
) on Bruno Latour:
'Latour’s ecologism resembles macronisme, in holding that ideas, through their persuasive power alone, can surmount political divisions and win support from across the social spectrum.'

Find a Søren a job 🚨he’s extremely smart, handsome, generous and overall likeable ♥️ (ps I’d love a job as well and I think the world would be a better place if someone got both of us a job, preferably in the same dept 😉)
My postdoc position ends in August, so I'm looking for a job! I’d love to teach and do research at a Danish or US university, but I'm open to other jobs that involve reading/writing/speaking. Any leads on job opportunities for a Marxist philosopher will be greatly appreciated!
