Frédéric Neyrat -- antihumanism

I am really cautious about all of the post-, anti- terms that are floating around with humanism right now.  Principally, I am not sure it is the most productive term to use when the humanities are supposedly fading away.  That said, I really enjoyed Neyrat's talk earlier this semester.  His antihumanism is, of course, trying to operate against the humanist tradition, but also re-works many of its proponents into something salvageable. 

The event page at UM - a video of what happened is there:

Also this article is appealing
