International Conference Legacies of Antihumanism

International Conference Legacies of Antihumanism will take place between 5th and 7th of December, at the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Faculty of Arts. The conference is organised by the Departments of Sociology and Philosophy, Faculty or Arts, and the Department of Cultural Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana.

The goal of the conference is to reassess the relevance of legacies of the original theoretical antihumanism, 60s French theory, imported in the 80s, which was what originally put Ljubljana on the world intellectual map. While deconstruction never really took hold and Deleuzianism developed later in different circumstances, the original two strands of Ljubljana theory were Lacanian psychoanalysis and Althusserian historical materialism and despite their differences and disagreements they both emphasised the same key antihumanist tenets: a critique of the humanist notions of the subject and subjectivity and a concept of a process without a subject.
