After the towering figures of the postwar generation, as well as the more recent prominence in the Anglophone world of thinkers like Badiou, Rancière and Laruelle, what does the current intellectual landscape look like in France? What are the philosophic developments in the current context? What are the recognizable trends and tendencies in the younger generation? Join us for a wide-ranging discussion that takes as its point of departure the iconic figures of the Anglophone translation regime in order to explore the voices that it excludes and the patterns of intellectual development that cannot be readily assimilated into the linear trajectory of Existentialism, Structuralism, Poststructuralism and beyond.
