Abstract

In 2004, Bruno Latour asked; what has become of critique? He called on researchers to develop modes of analyses and engagements that didn’t rest on debunking or deconstruction (Latour 2004, p. 226). Through his extensive work Latour has tied broad programmatic statements about critique and post-critique (Latour 2004, 2005, 2010) to the methodological aspects of conducting research
(Latour 1997, 2005) specifically social research, and questioned the status of theories and methods. In this paper I attempt to tentatively articulate a post-
critical design anthropological response to Latour’s methodological instructions.
