La néguanthropologie suggère qu’en pratiquant les supports de mémoire que constituent leurs artefacts techniques, les vivants dits « humains » se transmettent des savoirs, qu’ils interprètent et transforment, introduisant ainsi de l’indétermination et de la nouveauté dans le devenir entropique de l’univers. Or, le fonctionnement actuel des technologies numériques semble remettre en cause ce pouvoir de polariser le devenir vers un avenir, et d’orienter les faits existants vers des fins collectivement projetées. Comment alors amorcer la bifurcation vers la nouvelle époque, que le choc technologique semble pourtant impliquer ?

The aim of this paper is to question the significance of Derrida's deconstruction of the concepts of subject and history. While ‘postmodernity’ tends to be characterized by philosophical critique as the ‘liquidation of the subject’ or the ‘end of history’, I attempt to show that Derrida's deconstruction of ‘subjectivity’ and ‘historicity’ is not an elimination or destruction of these concepts, but an attempt to transform them in order to free them from their metaphysical-teleological presuppositions. This paper argues that this transformation, which begins in Derrida's and continues in Stiegler's texts, leads to the notions of ‘psycho-social individuation’ and ‘doubly epokhal redoubling’. I maintain that such notions ‘supplement’ the metaphysical concepts of subject and history by forcing a reconsideration of the technical conditions of psychic individuation and the technological conditions of ‘epochality’.
