Talking about design with Bruno Latour: An Interview

Interview with Bruno Latour about design: design indeed is not something you took explicitly into account in your work, up to the moment the title of the conference you held in Manchester in October 2007 came out – “Is there a cosmopolitically correct design?” 1 . Beside that we have known about your presence, as keynote speaker, at Networks of Design, the next Design History Society conference. We have then thought that probably it is not completely true that you did not take into account design, even if it is true that design has never came out as an issue in your work. We would like to know what you said at the Manchester conference and what you are planning to say at Networks of Design and then discuss why “design” was never explicitly addressed in your work
