301271 Transformative reciprocities: From organic to unconditional solidarity (S) (SoSe 2023)
Contents, comment
-
Along with freedom and equality, solidarity is the crucial third ingredient of democracy. In recent years, solidaristic or un-solidaristic politics and mobilizations molded refugee flows and migration discourses. During the COVID-19 pandemic, claims are made for solidarity in dealing with particularly vulnerable populations, solidarity through distancing from one another, and global distribution issues of vaccines. Sometimes, solidarity is described as a non-hierarchical practice of standing up for each; sometimes, it is related organically to the division of labor or conceptualized as an unconditional interaction. Solidarity, therefore, also has to do with visions about the future and is clearly different from associated concepts such as compassion or recognition. In this seminar, we relate solidarity to temporalities and reciprocity. We establish horizontal dialogues of concepts and practices of solidarity drawing on interdisciplinary political theory, feminist theory, and communitarian reciprocities from the Americas.
