New book on living through and despite displacement, neoliberalism, and
precarity…
Situating Ourselves in Displacement. Conditions, experiences and
subjectivity across neoliberalism and precarity
Edited by Paula Cobo Guevara and Manuela Zechner (Murmurae) and Marc
Herbst (Journal of Aesthetics & Protest)
Displacement is a key paradigm of our time, for who can afford not to
move, to shift, to change, to develop and improve – or to be moved,
shifted, displaced? Situatedness is a key condition for solid and
sustainable practices, in politics, arts, research or otherwise. Yet
situatedness is not something we can take for granted today. What is the
meaning of situatedness within displacement?
In this book we address conditions, experiences and subjectivity as
shaped by the tension(s) between displacement and situatedness.
Neoliberalism and precarity are the main contexts we depart from in
developing concepts, tools and tactics that stem from our collective and
individual lives.
What do politics and ethics mean in the context of frequent
displacements? How do we understand and give account of our
positionality and trajectory as itinerant subjects? What tools do we
have for orienting ourselves in new contexts, for mapping out stakes,
problems and possibilities of relating?
