Forced collaborations: collective responsibility and unequal sacrifice
in a Europe in crisis
Co-convenors: Theodora Vetta, Jaime Palomera, Manos Spyridakis
Discussant: Susana Narotzky
SHORT ABSTRACT
We invite theoretically informed ethnographies that address practices
of forced and unequal collaborations in various spheres of society and
at different scales. The aim is to unpack the forms of domination,
dispossession and struggle that these collaborations support.
LONG ABSTRACT
Since the escalation of the “crisis” in Southern Europe there is a
dominant moral discourse that underpins accelerated forms of
dispossession. This discourse stresses collective responsibility for
the crisis and asks people to “collaborate” by making sacrifices.
Taking this as a point of departure, we will focus on the concrete
forced collaborations to adjustment policies and declining
entitlements that emerge in various spheres and at different scales.
We invite theoretically informed ethnographic cases that unpack the
power relations within this ‘collaborative’ frame in order to reveal
different forms of domination, the (re)production of inequalities, and
the reconfiguring of legitimacy.
Possible questions that might be addressed include:
· What kinds of political and economic projects are framed as
collaborations?
· How are they linked with wider processes of distribution and
political economy logics?
· How is legitimacy produced or enforced by political and
economic institutions?
· What forms of inequality are (re)produced by such
collaborations and how are they maintained?
· What kind of collaborative projects get promoted and which are
silenced or repressed, and by whom?
· What alternative collaborations and solidarities emerge from
such contexts of dispossession?
