Plasticity and difference. From ontological difference to sexual difference and back
Keywords:
Plasticity, pathos, Ontological Difference, Sexual Difference, “Trans” DifferenceAbstract
The reading of Malabou hereby delivered offers an approximation to plasticity as philosophical pathos or method, which differs from and resists both, metaphysics and deconstruction by means of a structural articulation of ontological difference as sexual difference. This endeavor allows for a new consideration of the feminine by virtue of the “invention” of a new essence.
