Das umkämpfte Allgemeine und das neue Gemeinsame. Solidarität ohne Identität

Cultures of rejection at work: Investigating the acceptability of authoritarian populism

“…This challenge has been posed by the dismantling of what Brigitte Bargetz et al (2019: 12) term 'institutionalised solidarity'. Institutionalised solidarity includes the national welfare state, but extends to other forms of security against personal risk and market-dependency and, crucially, to spaces of contested universalism and a new sense of communality (Hark et al, 2015).

“…So, whilst feminist solidarity critically focuses on the different experiences of being a woman, it can also illuminate the struggle for "a new, nonabstract common" and "new spaces of what is being shared" (Hark et al 2015, 99-100;my translation).

Therefore, solidarity is both an effect of that acknowledgment and a point of departure for further encounters within a political struggle.…”

“…Following this controversy, some scholars have begun to critically address or even to reject identification as a necessary condition for solidarity across its different conceptual usages (Featherstone 2012;Günter 2015;Hark et al 2015;Laitinen 2015;Rorty 1992). Such perspectives enable to understand solidarity in its plurality and difference, grounded in relationships instead of identities, and as an effect of social relations.…”
