Summary/Abstract: Held in the midst of a vigorous US campaign, popularly called the "war on terror", a lecture by Bruno Latour at Stanford University was soon printed as an essay with a rather provocative title and would turn out to have an unusually large resonance for social theory. The central idea of ​​this essay, on the other hand, was neither geopolitics nor religious fundamentalism, although Latour (Bruno Latour) spoke about the "metaphorical atmosphere of time" embodied in militarization, which, obviously, did not bypass contemporary humanities or social sciences. "Should we be at war, too, we scientists, intellectuals? Is it really our duty to add fresh rubble to fields of rubble? Is it really the task of the humanities to add deconstruction to destruction?" (Latour 2004: 225), questions Latour. The confusion that the French sociologist and anthropologist addressed concerned the hasty academic habits of criticism, disassembly and preparation for new dangers, tasks and targets.
