Plasticity both solidifies and explodes a rigidified past

Evidence

Plasticity fulfils its promise for the future with its treatment of a past that has become rigid: if it plasticizes that past – by solidifying or laminating it – it also explodes that past, through what the French call plasticage or bombing. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1268

• DEFINE: Explicitly clarifies the double valence of plasticity as sculptural forming and explosive plasticage — the passive-receiving and active-annihilating poles of the term.
