Beskrivning
Catherine Malabou's concept of plasticity has influenced and inspired scholars from across disciplines. The contributors to Plastic Materialities-whose fields include political philosophy, critical legal studies, social theory, literature, and philosophy-use Malabou's innovative combination of post-structuralism and neuroscience to evaluate the political implications of her work. They address, among other things, subjectivity, science, war, the malleability of sexuality, neoliberalism and economic theory, indigenous and racial politics, and the relationship between the human and non-human. Plastic Materialities also includes three essays by Malabou and an interview with her, all of which bring her work into conversation with issues of sovereignty, justice, and social order for the first time.Contributors. Brenna Bhandar, Silvana Carotenuto, Jonathan Goldberg-Hiller, Jairus Victor Grove, Catherine Kellogg, Catherine Malabou, Renisa Mawani, Fred Moten, Alain Pottage, Michael J. Shapiro, Alberto Toscano

Recensioner i media

"Plastic Materialities is testament to both the vibrant potentialities which lie in the philosophical thinking of Malabou and the scholarly reflections on that potential. Bhandar and Goldberg-Hiller, as well as the contributors to this volume, should be commended on what is a truly groundbreaking and important contribution to the social, political and legal implications of Malabou’s plasticity." - Chris Lloyd (Social & Legal Studies) "Whether we accept or not that materialism, in general, affirms the radical absence of any outside to the mode of coming, the idea put forward overall by the book, that matter is self or selves in formation, remains a thought-provoking one that will no doubt generate further research especially in the intersecting fields of neuroscience and philosophy, intersection that clearly marks Malabou out as one of the most courageous scholars attempting to bridge the gap between science and the humanities. It is a credit to the editors to have brought together a wide-ranging set of views on Malabou’s work, thus giving the reader, expert and non-experts, the possibility of apprehending one of the most distinctive voices in philosophy today."  - Jean-Paul Martinon (H-France, H-Net Reviews) “Plastic Materialities is an important and exciting contribution. Each article should be granted the careful reading that it deserves.”- Ida Djursaa (New Formations)
