La destruction a ses ciseaux de sculpteur : plasticità e possibilità della forma in letteratura (a partire da Catherine Malabou)

Abstract

The contribution aims to interpret in the light of Catherine Malabou’s thought, and specifically of the inter- section between “plasticity” and “epigenesis of the transcendental”, some salient moments of the literary reflection between Kafka, Nabokov, Sebald, Carson. The “destruction of existential presuppositions” will thus be understood as a “condition of possibility” of the narrative form, and the narrative itself will come to be part of a peculiar hypothesis of “heterogenetic morphology”.
