“…They propose the concept of 'public familiarity', which describes 'a setting that provides ways of knowing incrementally about others' without, however, implying social belonging to this shared space of everyday encounters (ibid p. 260).13 For a general overview, seeNowicka and Vertovec (2014) andWise and Noble (2016); see also the brief introduction to the topic in Heil (2015a).14 On conviviality in the workplace, see Gutiérrez Rodríguez (2011),Karner & Parker (2012),Rzepnikowska (2017),Sanchez (2016), andWise (2016), and on everyday interaction and 'micro-social geographies of conviviality' in and around schools in superdivers Sydney and London, respectively, seeNoble (2013) andVincent et al (2016).15 Scholars are above all interested in the impact of political conflict on sharing and tolerance, e.g. in Palestine, northern Africa and the Balkans (cf.Barkan & Barkey, 2015;Bowman, 2012;Campbell, 2022;Hayden, 2002Hayden, , 2012; see also recent debates on religious 'exopraxis'(Fliche, 2018 andPerl, 2018).…”

In recent years, the social sciences and humanities have been increasingly interested in diversity and everyday life. Rather than focusing on the negative aspects of diversity, such as the lack of social cohesion, interethnic conflict and segregation, they have gradually turned to studying concrete examples of intercultural communal life. This new perspective is reflected in expressions like 'prosaic multiculture' or 'everyday cosmopolitanism' and, most importantly, in the notion of 'conviviality'. The article explores diversity and ways of living together in Luxembourg. Referring to examples from various research projects, it offers an exploratory journey into understanding how difference is being constructed, experienced and negotiated in everyday encounters. Luxembourg shows historical and sociocultural particularities that make it an interesting case for comparison. These particularities can be summarised in a series of seeming opposites. Luxembourg is very small but superdiverse. It is highly urbanised but shows persistent rural social structures. It has no colonial past but is nevertheless part of considerable global historical entanglements. It combines a high degree of traditionalism with equally remarkable cosmopolitan traits. The article concentrates on two dimensions that can be characterised as visible versus invisible moments of diversity: the importance of multilingualism and the impact of non-European immigration on national multiculture. By distinguishing the visible and the invisible and thus linking research on conviviality to explorations of the relation between perception and social recognition, we hope to contribute to the debate on conviviality and especially to the question of how it relates to power inequalities and conflict.

Beyond Xenophilia

Perl¹

2020

Common Knowledge

This essay, by the editor of Common Knowledge, responds to a piece by Dionigi Albera that, in turn, responds to Jeffrey Perl’s introduction, published in May 2017, to CK’s multipart symposium on xenophilia. Albera argues that the ambivalence that Perl observes in many instances of xenophilia needs genealogical explanation, and Albera turns for this purpose to analysis of the relationship between Aphrodite and Ares in Greco-Roman mythology. In the present piece, Perl extends that exploration in analysis of a series of images in which the gods of love and war, along with their illegimate children Eros and Phobos (or philia and phobia), are given comical and often vulgar treatment by artists ranging from Botticelli and Mantegna, in the fifteenth century; to Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto, in the sixteenth; to Rubens, Jan Bruegel the Elder, and Poussin, in the seventeenth; to Lagrenée, in the eighteenth; to David and Guillemot, in the nineteenth; to Jeff Koons in our own day. Perl and Albera agree with these artists that the antithetical pair, Aphrodite and Ares, have a fully logical, if furtive relationship in mythology, iconography, and psychology. The idealization to which the comic images respond—that when warriors make love, there is no warfare—is laughed, again and again, out of court. But Perl’s concern, unlike Albera’s, is that this cynicism on the part of artists and advanced intellectuals means that, despite their ostensible preference for peace over conflict, they will always find cause to undermine every effort to make way for peace.
