This interview with Dr Madeleine Chalmers (Leicester University) about her book "French Technological Thought and the Nonhuman Turn" was recorded in October 2024.

The conversation between Dr Chalmers and A/Prof Christopher Watkin, editor of the Crosscurrents series, ranges over topics including:

• the primary debates the book intervenes in
• the concept of "technologos"
• the idea of "technics" in modern French thought
• the "nonhuman turn" in recent thought and culture
• the notion of "originary technicity"
• the influence of Catholic sacramentality on technological thinking
• a critique of the idea of a "reduction to signification" in the nonhuman turn

The book is open access and available free from https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-french-technological-thought-and-the-nonhuman-turn.html
