1. It is with great sadness that we learn the news of Bruno Latour’s passing today. He was an intellectual giant, a friend, & someone whose work inspired me greatly. A thread for those who want to know more about this extraordinary life.

Our aim is to explore the role that communities played in public and private life before 1800. How and why did premodern people form, sustain, and dissolve social collectives? What prompted the material, affective, and intellectual investment in networks of intimate exchange?
