Written as an essay, An Attempt at a «Compositionist Manifesto» points toneeding a manifesto in form of genre and contemporaneity. Using The Communist Manifesto as a model, Latour constructs a manifesto using the different meanings of the word “compose” in order to think about a new world: one that is composed and decomposed into heterogeneous elements. For the author, the manifesto is the world’s composition that we need to imagine.
