Product Description

Written as an essay, An Attempt at a «Compositionist Manifesto» responds to the need of treating the manifesto as a genre of its own. Using The Communist Manifesto as a model, Latour constructs a manifesto using the different meanings of the word “compose” in order to think about a new world: one that is composed and decomposed into heterogeneous elements. For the author, the manifesto is the foundation of the world that we need to imagine.

Escrito como un ensayo, An Attempt at a «Compositionist Manifesto» pone en evidencia la necesidad del manifiesto cómo género, y su total coincidencia con la contemporaneidad, a pesar de que el pensamiento opuesto sea dominante Usando el modelo del Manifiesto comunista, construye un manifiesto utilizando los diferentes sentidos de la palabra “componer”, con el fin de pensar un mundo nuevo: un mundo que se compone y descompone en elementos heterogéneos. Para Bruno Latour el manifiesto es la composta del mundo que necesitamos imaginar.
