Plasticity and Mimesis: Three Metamorphoses. A Dialogue

The present dialogue took place online on February 23, 2023, in the context of a conference organized by Professor Nidesh Lawtoo and his team at KU Leuven. Revised and expanded for the present written version, this dialogue brings in conversation two of the most relevant thinkers of our time: Catherine Malabou, the author of a widely influential philosophical account that is largely (but not exclusively) based on plasticity, and Nidesh Lawtoo, the proponent of a new and successful field of interdisciplinary inquiry, mimetic studies. With an editorial note by Alice Iacobone and an intermezzo with Isabelle Dahms & Giulia Rignano. Traduzione italiana di Alice Iacobone.
