Summary/Abstract: Catherine Malabou, French philosopher and feminist, explores the concept of plasticity as a central idea in her work, defining it as the capacity to both receive and give form—shaping life while setting limits to that shaping, and offering resistance rather than blind flexibility. She connects this to feminist theory, anarchism, and sexuality, arguing that true empowerment must overcome both external and internal forms of domination, using the clitoris as a symbol of non-dominative pleasure and subversion of authority. Malabou also emphasizes the political power of gentleness, framing it not as weakness but as a transformative force of resistance and ethical care.
