After Humanism : Politics of Nature and Parliament of Things in Bruno Latour
Charles RAMOND 이화여자대학교 이화인문과학원 2016 탈경계인문학 Vol.9 No.1
Bruno Latour has proposed the concepts of “politics of nature” and “parliament of things” to characterize the new relationship between humanity and nature “after humanism” and the modern era. We demonstrate here the consistency and plausibility of this program, beyond its provocative appearance. First, in order to reconcile men and things, men and nature, it is necessary to attenuate the conceptual oppositions that divide them, foremost among which is the opposition between the “subject” and the “object,” or the “active” and the “passive.” According to Latour’s theory of action (inspired by French philosopher Étienne Souriau), things are not merely passive, but can also “act” in a somewhat circular intercourse with men: Men are the products of things they make as well as things are the products of men’s activity. Then if, strictly speaking, things do not speak, they can nevertheless “speak” with men, through their respective “spokesmen” (scientists and politicians).

The formation of environmentally toxic acidicwaste from mining activities is a world-wide problem. Neutralization of this waste can be accomplished byphysicochemical and/or biological means. In this shorttermstudy, synthetic acid mine drainage was added tosand-filled mesocosms containing silica-dominated (quartz)sand. Glucose was added as a carbon source for microbialiron and/or sulphate reduction. Replicates contained twoseparate batches of sand obtained from the same quarrysite. The investigations used to assess and compare thechemical and biological functioning of the replicatesincluded system hydraulic conductivity measurements, sandchemistry, effluent chemistry and bacterial communityfingerprinting. Minor differences in composition of thesand, including the levels of available nutrients andmicronutrients, resulted in major differences in measuredparameters. Significant differences in effluent chemistrywere found in systems containing different batches of sand. It was demonstrated that the characteristics of the sand andthe presence of acid mine drainage (AMD) impacted thebacterial community structure and function. The importanceof the physical substrate on the selection of functionalmicrobial communities in systems remediating AMD shouldnot be under-estimated. The physical substrate should becarefully selected and it may be prudent to include smallscalecomparative studies in each particular setting prior tofull-scale implementation.
