Název v původním jazyce

Politics of Plasticity: On Solidarity and Mutual Aid with Catherine Malabou

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Catherine Malabou is one of Europe’s leading philosophers today. She has earned her reputation not only from her novel interpretations of key philosophers like Hegel and Heidegger, but also for bringing philosophy into dialogue with psychoanalysis and neuroscience. Among other philosophical notions, she coined the concept of plasticity. This concept allowed her to reflect on both destructive plasticity, which appears in various forms of individual and political traumas, and creative plasticity, which matches up with unexpected events and irregularities of life. In her most recent work, Catherine Malabou turns her attention to the phenomena of solidarity, cooperation and mutual aid that she analyses both in the field of evolutionary biology and in politics. In these domains, she challenges the idea of natural selfishness that dominates the evolutionary biology and political discourse typical of neoliberalism as well as neopopulism. Realizing the limitations and dangers of the ideology of selfishness, she examines the viability of anarchist conceptions of mutual aid. The main aim of the conference is to explore the possibilities of understanding our coexistence with others in terms of solidarity and cooperation. In dialogue with Catherine Malabou, and on the basis of her work, we shall project mutual aid as a crucial factor in the maintenance of society and the facilitation of social changes. The conference will be opened by Catherine Malabou’s keynote address and closed by her recapitulation.
