Prof. Bruno Latour talks on "Ecological Crises, Digital Humanities and New Political Assemblies," as part of the Azim Premji University Public Lecture Series March 23, 2012 About the Talk Ecological crises in contemporary times have created problems for political representation. Existing political assemblies cannot handle these crises due to their scale, the esoteric character of the scientific knowledge necessary to apprehend them, and the intensity of conflicts of values that they generate.
