Kevin Pelletier, Cultural Critique
"Replete with situated, embedded figurations,
Metamorphoses is a book to grow with. Emergences,
transformations, and materialist becomings of all kinds are the
subject of this rich philosophical work. Insects, women,
philosophers, cyborgs – promising monsters all, and all are
enlisted in drawing up a cartography of becoming. Braidotti writes
with enormous energy and style. Never forgetting the subject
structured in sexual difference, she searches for figurations that
can guide us to emergences more attuned to justice, pleasure, and
historical specificity. This book warms my biophilic heart, as it
informs my feminist soul and gives pleasure to my embodied
mind."
