Soft coverWho has dreamed or feared, desired or suffered, to delegate their body? Ask or order another: be my body!... take it in my place, nurture it, cultivate it, train it? According to Butler and Malabou, this command and request are what the master gives to the slave in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. The dialectic of denomination and servitude must be understood as a scenario of delegation and denial between bodies. However, have we ever completely detached from our body? On the contrary, are we ever absolutely attached to it? In a book that allows us to delve into contemporary debates around philosophy, both authors engage in a dialogue about the body and its relationship with the other.
