natures-cultures

is a way of describing the proliferation of technological hybridity and cultural intersections in today's world and networks in which cultures are taken to be simultaneously pure and adulterated by one another.

Latour's 'natures-cultures' provides scholars a way to discuss the proliferation of technological hybridity and cultural intersections in today's world and to conceptualize cultural interactions not only as one culture influencing another but also as moments when cultural homogeneity is question and reinscribed as networks in which cultures are both simultaneously pure and adulterated by one another. His term also provides a more ethical way of thinking about one's relationship to the world than that provided in liberal modernism in which the dualism of us/them is challenged yet ultimately maintained and reinscribed, foregoing a theoretical position that challenges difference as inherent identity'
