Plasticity requires the dissolution of the thinking subject rather than its ratiocinative control

Evidence

Yet have I, coming on stage with such a programme, taken on the method of the ‘knowing I’, the ratiocinative reader whose vanity Hegel denounces? To me it seems rather that plasticity was imposed on me at the very moment – but when was that moment? – when the ‘I’ was broken in the ordeal of its discovery, which is to say, at the moment of the discovery of plasticity which, by definition, doesn’t need an ‘I’ to be deployed. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1249

• QUESTION: When exactly does the ‘I’ break — is this the moment of trauma/rupture in the reader-subject? Worth chasing Malabou’s account of the encounter.
