Jérôme Denis
In his joint talk with David Pontille, Jérôme Denis will draw on Bruno Latour’s work on the politics of artifacts, in particular his oscillations between the power of technical objects to act and the fragility of forms of instauration, to show how they have stimulated investigations into maintenance and the art of making things last.
Jérôme Denis is is a professor at the Centre de sociologie de l’Innovation at Mines Paris-PSL. His work focuses on two topics: data work and maintenance practices with David Pontille. Together, they published Petite sociologie de la signalétique (Presses des Mines) in 2010 and Le soin des choses (La Découverte) in 2022. They also participated in the creation of the blog scriptopolis.fr, which became a book published in 2019 by Non Standard Editions.
