L’inhumain
Causeries sur le temps
by Jean-Francois Lyotard
English summary: These informal texts on the idea of postmodernity consider the problem of humanity caught up in inhuman development, and the loss of humane, political, and philosophical alternatives to progress. The only possible resistance to this process is the dispossession of the self. Time, memory, and matter enter as essential factors in this complex question. French description: Recueil de causeries pour la plupart destinees a un large public. Quelques prolongements a l’idee de post-moderne. Les humains emportes dans le developpement inhumain, qu’on n’ose plus appeler le progres. La disparition d’une alternative humaine, politique et philosophique, a ce processus. Seule possible encore, une resistance, appuyee sur l’autre inhumain : la depossession de soi qui sommeille en chacun, son enfance indomptable. Banalite ecrasante, mediatique, des neo-humanismes, qui, aujourd’hui, relevent la tete. Questions decisives : le temps, la memoire, la matiere. Comment la vie administree (Adorno) les aneantit en les programmant. Comment les arts de la vue, du son et de la pensee en preservent la verite paradoxale.
