I situate this reading within critical conversations about contemporary apocalyptic fiction and ecohorror in order to argue that the\u0000 The Last Man\u0000 —and by extension, Romanticism—offers opportunities to imagine how human and nonhuman forms of agency could work together to compose different stories about life in the Anthropocene.\u0000","PeriodicalId":476784,"journal":{"name":"Essays in Romanticism","volume":"13 30","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140745945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In his last books he presses the specific problem of how to live and attempt to know a specific geographical region without succumbing to isolationism and xenophobia. Many years previous, another irascible and humorous thinker worked similar soils. While Latour’s family has long labored in the Louis Latour vineyards, on the other side of the Atlantic, Henry David Thoreau was seeking wild apples for the long walk home. This essay examines how both thinkers produce a particular vision of a local understanding of place without the oversimplifications of the local/global binary.\u0000","PeriodicalId":476784,"journal":{"name":"Essays in Romanticism","volume":"29 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140744613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay delineates Bruno Latour’s method of understanding how data is gathered in the field and translated into visual and textual images of place (which he calls immutable mobiles). Textual representations reduce the material specificity of place, but in return representations facilitate understanding of a place by creating greater compatibility, standardization, calculation, and circulation of knowledge. Latour explains how instruments create representations and how the instruments and texts are part of a broader implicate epistemological matrix. This matrix determines in advance how we think about, measure, see, and represent the world around us. The essay then develops how landscape poetry and art participate in the broader cultural epistemological matrix.","PeriodicalId":476784,"journal":{"name":"Essays in Romanticism","volume":"16 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140744173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By demonstrating how Equiano, like Latour, highlights the agency of not only enslaved humans but also nonhuman entities, this reading suggests that the slave narrative is not only a political form but also potentially an ecological form.\u0000","PeriodicalId":476784,"journal":{"name":"Essays in Romanticism","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140741731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reassembling Visionary Physics : Donald Ault, Bruno Latour, and William Blake’s Mathematical Scenographies 重新组合有远见的物理学：唐纳德-奥尔特、布鲁诺-拉图尔和威廉-布莱克的数学场景图

Starting with his 1968 book\u0000 Visionary Physics\u0000 and continuing through his early unpublished work using complex variables to map the ontological transformations depicted in\u0000 The Book of Urizen\u0000 , this article suggests that Ault’s scholarship can be understood as a series of visionary experiments on the aesthetics and ontology of scientific facts. Ault envisions that every act of preservation in Blake’s work is also an act of transformation and becoming. As such, he anticipates later developments in Latourian lab sociology, actor-network theory (ANT), and media archaeology. Along with Latour’s pamphlet\u0000 What is the Style of Matters of Concern?\u0000 and its meditation on Alfred North Whitehead’s understanding of the bifurcation of nature, Ault’s mathematical scenographies provide an alternative to the neo-realist defenses of science that would reduce all experiments to acts of objectivity-making.\u0000","PeriodicalId":476784,"journal":{"name":"Essays in Romanticism","volume":"5 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140744153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
