Antihumanisme(s)
Forms, reflections and representations (literature and cinema)
Europe – United States – Canada / Latin America
This international conference follows on from those organized at the end of November 2020: “From postmodernism to posthumanism. Literature and Cinema ”and“ From postmodernism to posthumanism. Latin American literature and cinema ”. The objective, this time, is to deepen the study of the critical discourses of humanism, and in particular, but not only, those which we can call:
– Abhumanisme
– Hierarchical antihumanism
– Pessimistic antihumanism
Literary and cinematographic forms and representations of these critiques of humanism will be discussed, as well as theoretical reflections on their configuration. After a first day (November 25) dedicated to Europe, the United States and Canada, the half-day of November 26 will be devoted to Latin America.
