Comments on Latour, Bruno (1988): The politics of explanation. An alternative

by Olaf Zenker and Kai Porwoll

Critical discussion:

1. The relationship between "explanations" and "throw-away explanations"
2. The value of "novelty", "originality" and "de-familiarising representations"
3. The question of a privileged perspective and the relevance of nonprivileged stories
4. The relationship between "explanations" and "representations"
5. Latour’s handling of "causality"
