Jérôme Denis is a sociologist, a professor at Mines Paris and director of the Centre for the Sociology of Innovation (CSI). In Le Soin des choses (The Care of Things: Ethics and Politics of Maintenance), co-written with David Pontille, he sheds light on the work of maintaining objects, infrastructure and buildings, highlighting how relevant this thinking is at a time when resources and environments need to be preserved. He questions our obsession with innovation and draws a connection between maintenance and the ethics of care.
