“…While the call of togetherness by governments is loud and widespread, it has become clear that its practical implementation is still obstructed by policies geared towards expanding merely an in‐group belonging, shared identity and reciprocity (Hunt & Benford 2004; Routledge et al . 2007; Iorio 2013; Rahbari 2019; Bauder & Juffs 2020). Such a solidarity, although internally potentially effective, runs the risk of creating or enlarging a bordered togetherness and exclusive reciprocity and hence a medical care only attainable for the ones that are part of that particular in‐group.…”

“…In this paper we build on the burgeoning academic debate on the corona crisis by conceptually assessing the current societal challenges which the demanded policy of human togetherness is facing. In particular, we will build on and contribute to the literature related to the geopolitical b/ordering of solidarity and togetherness, that is, acting in opposition with and/or marginalising certain others (van Houtum & van Naerssen 2002; Vollan & Ostrom 2010; Sennett 2012; Jackson 2015; Bauder & Juffs 2020). To do this, we will be using a radical, humanistic approach (Burrell & Morgan 1979) with which we theoretically assess the socially constructed nature as well as the value bound axiology of the current politically used notions of solidarity.…”

In this contribution we focus on togetherness, as one of the key notions in the current COVID‐19 crisis. Globally, it is seen as vital to stand and act together to combat the virus, and avoid a tragedy of the commons, in which actors are acting out of self‐interest and counterproductively to the general interest. In this essay we analyse the current geographical dissonant developments that the required human togetherness across the globe is facing. We find that the main conflicting tendencies, that we summarise as utilitarian locking up, nationalistic locking in and exclusionary locking out, are all employing a notion of togetherness which is largely based on an in‐group solidarity based on either age, gender, ethnicity, nationality or fitness. We argue that such narrow definition of togetherness falls short in dealing with the crisis in an effective as well as non‐discriminatory manner, and potentially could even lengthen or worsen the corona crisis. We end with a plea for a different conceptualisation of solidarity in the combat of the crisis, a radical non‐dividing form of togetherness: agape.

“…Much has been written about the concepts of solidarity. It is not our intention to provide a comprehensive review of theoretical literature on solidarity; others have done it masterfully (see Bauder and Juffs, 2020 for an analysis of the concept in migration and refugee literature). In this article, we are mainly concerned with solidarity as a value that underpins actions undertaken by different solidarians working with and on behalf of refugees (see Cantat et al, 2018).…”

New forms of solidarity are being shaped as a response to the European "refugee crisis. " The states have not been able to implement any viable or sustainable solution to the crisis, but the solidarity movement has been very visible and active in many European countries and rejected in others. This paper focuses on Poland, a country that gave birth to the Solidarność labor movement in 1980, but was recently reprimanded by the European Union for its lack of solidarity with other countries that accepted refugees. In this paper, we trace the rapture of the Solidarity movement and the emergence of solidarities with migrants and refugees in local Polish communities and abroad. We juxtapose the Polish government's call for "flexible solidarity" mechanisms within the EU, coupled with the emphasis on solidarity in the context of border securitization, with grassroots efforts in several Polish cities to welcome migrants and refugees and facilitate their integration. We also look at the emerging initiatives to raise resources to help refugees lingering in refugee camps and transit countries. And finally, we ask the question whether fragmented, organically evolving, grass-root solidarities are sustainable without the support of the national government.

“…Pojęcie solidarności w kontekście badań nad migrantami i uchodźcami ma długą historię. W pracy "'Solidarity' in the migration and refugee literature: analysis of a concept, [14] solidarność jest uważana za aspekt filozoficzny wymagający łatwiejszego wyjaśnienia. Poprzez takie podejście autorzy artykułu zastanawiają się nad stosunkiem krajów przyjmujących do migrantów i wyrażają różne opinie na temat tego, w jaki sposób ta relacja może się rozwijać.…”

W naukach społecznych i humanistycznych migracja jest jedną z najbardziej aktualnych kwestii wymagających refleksji. W artykule analizujemy reprezentację kulturowych aspektów migracji we współczesnym dyskursie naukowym oraz ich interpretację poprzez teorie filozoficzne i dzieła sztuki (w szerokim znaczeniu). __________ РЕПРЕЗЕНТАЦІЯ КУЛЬТУНИХ АСПЕКТІВ МІГРАЦІЇ В ДИСКУРСІ СОЦІАЛЬНИХ І ГУМАНІАТАРНИХ НАУК: МИСТЕЦТВО І ФІЛОСОФІЯ У соціальних і гуманітарних науках міграції є однією з актуальних проблем для осмислення. У даній статті розглядається репрезентація культурних аспектів міграції в сучасному науковому дискурсі та їх трактування за допомогою філософських теорій і творів мистецтва (в широкому сенсі).
