Plastic Materialities Politics, Legality, and Metamorphosis in the Work of Catherine Malabou

"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."
