| Sumario: | This article explores what it calls “Marian Materialisms” through the theological and philosophical lenses of Tina Beattie, Marika Rose, and Catherine Malabou. It examines how each thinker engages with the figure of Mary to interrogate the relationship between materiality, femininity, and divinity. Beattie affirms a maternal materialism rooted in Thomistic and Lacanian thought; Rose offers a critical “negative” materialism attentive to systemic injustice; Malabou proposes a “plasticised Marianism,” grounded in her ontology of plasticity, emphasising transformation and resistance. The article critiques the residual anthropocentrism in psychoanalytic frameworks and suggests Malabou’s plasticity offers a dynamic model for feminist theological materialism. |
