 Tropes at Play in Latour’s Work. A Tensive Semiotic Portrait of Modernity as a Semiosphere
The semiotic interpretation of Bruno Latour s work often focuses on the syntactic models he borrowed from semiotics. In this paper, I shift the attention towards the underlying semantic models of Latour s work. This shift does not claim any philological intentions; its objective is primarily theoretical. My aim is to establish a connection between Lotman's perspective on rhetoricity, which is a fu ndamental mechanism of meaning making in the semiosphere, Latour's anthropological and experimental exploration in his Inquiry into Modes of Existence ,and the tensive semiotic concept of "enunciative practice". In our view, bridging the gap between these research projects enables semiotics of culture to align itself with contemporary anthropology as a leading human science, providing a more heuristic articulation of Latour's Inquiry.
