Intellectual history is full of turns. Starting from the 1950s, we have seen numerous paradigm shifts, with each one contributing to the growing trend toward becoming an independent discipline within the humanities. This theoretical fascination began with the linguistic turn in the 1960s, followed by the pictorial and bodily turns in the 1980s, the affective turn in the 1990s, and most recently, the sensory turn. The article sets out to rethink this – by no means exhaustive – trajectory of turns by relating them to the humanism/anti-humanism divide.
