Reviews
Nonmodern Practices assembles an outstanding body of distinguished international scholars to consolidate the multifaceted work of Bruno Latour as a provocation to comparative literary studies. William Paulson's foreword and Rita Felski's afterword join co-editor Elisabeth Arnould-Bloomfield's lucid introduction to provide a short course in Latour's master trope of the nonmodern. His actor-network theory comes forward as opening a field of empirical and interpretive possibilities ready to inform a renovated literary academy following Latour's lead beyond the (im)postures of ideological critique. A suite of spare and spirited essays-with standout contributions by Vinciane Despret and Graham Harman-model the practice of nonmodernity by stepping over the purified national, periodic, and disciplinary boundaries of standard literary discussion. * Bruce Clarke, Paul Whitfield Horn Professor of Literature and Science and Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology, Texas Tech University, USA *
