Get ready for the lively parliament of immanent Gaianly agents…
“Querying Natural Religion: Immanence, Gaia, and the Parliament of Lively Things” will take place this Saturday afternoon in the Baltimore Convention Center (right after Karen Armstrong’s plenary in the same room, on “The Science of Compassion”).
The revised speaker line-up is below. Unfortunately, Jane Bennett will not be able to present. And Bruno Latour cannot make it as respondent, but we hope to get a response from him in the special issue of the JSRNC (and/or book) that will be developed from the talks.
I plan to live-blog the proceedings as best as I can.

Since the roundtable will be exploring and responding to the themes of Bruno Latour’s 2013 Gifford Lectures, I recommend viewing those lectures in advance. The first one is below.
bootleg recordings?!
I think the AAR is planning to videotape it, so it may become available at some point.
But then you probably meant Latour… Those videos are “official bootlegs,” I guess. The texts have been circulating for a while, too, from Latour’s own web site; click here for a pdf. The abstracts are all here.
no thanks I meant the AAR they don’t always make their stuff public, one would think that folks in the humanities might be looking to make alliances with tax-payers these days but…
