143Catherine Malabou and the currency of hegelianismHypatia 15 (4): 190-195. 2000.: Catherine Malabou is a professor of philosophy at Paris-Nanterre. A collaborator and student of Jacques Derrida, her work shares some of his interest in rigorous protocols of reading, and a willingness to attend to the undercurrents of over-read and "too familiar" texts.
