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
In Colonial Lives of Property Brenna Bhandar examines how modern
property law contributes to the formation of racial subjects in
settler colonies and to the development of racial capitalism.
Examining both historical cases and ongoing processes of settler
colonialism in Canada, Australia, and Israel and Palestine, Bhandar
shows how the colonial appropriation of indigenous lands depends
upon ideologies of European racial superiority as well as upon
legal narratives that equate civilized life with English concepts
of property. In this way, property law legitimates and rationalizes
settler colonial practices while it racializes those deemed unfit
to own property. The solution to these enduring racial and economic
inequities, Bhandar demonstrates, requires developing a new
political imaginary of property in which freedom is connected to
shared practices of use and community rather than individual
possession.
In a moment of rising authoritarianism, climate crisis, and ever
more exploitative forms of neoliberal capitalism, there is a
compelling and urgent need for radical paradigms of thought and
action. Through interviews with key revolutionary scholars, Bhandar
and Ziadah present a thorough discussion of how anti-racist,
anti-capitalist feminisms are crucial to building effective
political coalitions. Collectively, these interviews with leading
scholars including Angela Y. Davis, Silvia Federici, and many
others, trace the ways in which black, indigenous, post-colonial
and Marxian feminisms have created new ways of seeing, new
theoretical frameworks for analysing political problems, and new
ways of relating to one another. Focusing on migration,
neo-imperial militarism, the state, the prison industrial complex,
social reproduction and many other pressing themes, the range of
feminisms traversed in this volume show how freedom requires
revolutionary transformation in the organisation of the economy,
social relations, political structures, and our psychic and
symbolic worlds. The interviews include Avtar Brah, Gail Lewis and
Vron Ware on Diaspora, Migration and Empire. Himani Bannerji, Gary
Kinsman, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, and Silvia Federici on
Colonialism, Capitalism, and Resistance. Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Avery
F. Gordon and Angela Y. Davis on Abolition Feminism.
