Résumé
--
The figure of the individual, which has dominated philosophy and the social sciences for the last three decades, seems to be living its last hours. All around, singular and collective individuals are seeking to reach beyond mere adaptation to the fluid world imposed by global capitalism, to become once again the agents of their own existence. In the north as in the south, an immense desire for subjectivation is spreading through our societies. Yet the figure of the subject remains indistinct. Long identified with a natural entity, beyond history, it also suffers today from equally damaging representations which derive from the radical historicity of the subject its ethical and political relativity, even its inexistence. The aim of this book is to revisit the relations between subject and history, reintroducing a forgotten tradition (or perhaps repressed by philosophy): that which begins with Humboldt, moves on with Saussure, Benveniste and Meschonnic. By defining language as an activity and the means of circulating poetic powers, this tradition provides the bases of a new historical anthropology of the subject.
