Trying to Understand Serres: Some "Not Fans" of The Parasite

This is a pretty interesting exchange between some people trying to figure out what Serres means by "The Parasite" within a scientific context. If you have a chance, read it and see what you make of the criticisms and struggles that are at play.

English translation of Statues?

We need some help from the Serres readership. A debate coach from the US, is looking for a good English translation of Statues : le second livre des fondations, Paris: Flammarion, 1989.

My bibliography does not include an English translation reference. I will look further online but thought some of might now if anything is available or is being worked on.

Here is the note:

Thanks for your continued work on the Serres blog - I very much enjoy the thought presented there. I was curious if you were aware of any effort for an English translation of Serres' 1987 work Statues. From Latour's "Conversations" with Serres and the reference to his perception of risk, it's a work I'm very much interested in.
