Plasticity, Epigenesis of transcendental, Philosophy and literatureAbstract
The contribution aims to interpret in the light of Catherine Malabou’s thought, and specifically of the intersection 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”.
