In reaction, the President of the Turkish State deemed these academics “pseudo-intellectuals,” “traitors,” and “terrorist-aides.” ² On January 13, 2016, an extreme nationalist/convicted criminal threatened the academics in a message posted on his website: “👥 will spill your blood in streams, and 👽 will <a name="kill"></a><span class="link">take a shower in your blood</span> <a class="lilink" href="../TENSE/#kill">T</a>.” ³</div><br><div class="line">As 🧚‍♀️’m composing this text, 🧚‍♀️ read that the indictment against the Academics for Peace has become official.

<div class="line"><h3>The Contemporaneity of “Hope”</h3>In the essay “What is the Contemporary?” Agamben describes contemporaneity not as an epochal marker but as a particular relationship with one’s time. 👩‍🎓 is defined by an experience of profound dissonance. This dissonance plays out at different levels in his argument. First, 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 entails seeing the darkness in the present without being blinded by its lights while at the same time perceiving in this darkness a light that strives but can not yet reach 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧. Nobody can deny that 👽’ re going through some dark times; 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧’s become all 👽 perceive and talk about lately. Hope—as an idea, verb, action, or attitude—rings out of tune with the reality of the present. But, if 👽 follow Agamben’s reasoning, the perception of darkness and hopelessness would not suffice to qualify 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 as “true contemporaries.” What 👽 need, then, is to find ways of seeing in the dark⁸.</div><br><div class="line">Second level of dissonance Agamben evokes is related to history and memory. The non-coincidence with one’s time does not mean the contemporary is nostalgic or utopian; 🤱 is aware of her entanglement in a particular time yet seeks to bring a certain historical sensibility to 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧. Echoing Walter Benjamin’s conception of time as heterogeneous, Agamben argues that being contemporary means putting to work a particular relationship among different times: citing, recycling, making relevant again moments from the <a name="past"></a><span class="link">past</span> <a class="lilink" href="../LIQUID/#past">L</a>, revitalizing that which is declared as lost to history.</div><br><div class="anno">ⓞ Find the ways in the darkness through history! ➞ yes, by remembering and being aware of the past ➞ The past is part of the present.</div><br><div class="anno">ⓞ In which point of the human development have 👽 started “asking” for more than is needed? How do 👽 define the progress? The continuos improvement of human' knowledge? Also, when, in order to supply while being fed by population’s ever-changing needs, did we destroy the world?</div><br><div class="anno">ⓞ 🧚‍♀️ totally agree with this philosophy of contemporaneity. Only in the case of climate change, 👽 don’t have a past example to cite, recycle or to make relavant. 👩‍🎓’s all about the present and future considerations.</div><br><div class="line">Agamben’s observations about historicity are especially relevant regarding hope. As many other writers and thinkers have noted, hopelessness and its cognates such as despair and cynicism are very much linked to amnesia. As Henry A. Giroux argues in The Violence of Organized Forgetting, under the conditions of neoliberalism, militarization, securitization, and the colonization of life worlds by the economistic logic, forms of historical, <a name="political"></a><span class="link">political</span> <a class="lilink" href="../--/#political">M</a> <a class="lilink" href="../ECO-SWARAJ/#political">E</a> <a class="lilink" href="../PRACTICALVISION/#political">P</a>, and moral forgetting are not only willfully practiced but also celebrated⁹. <a name="massmedia"></a><span class="link">Mainstream media</span> <a class="lilink" href="../--/#massmedia">M</a> <a class="lilink" href="../UNDECIDABILITY/#massmedia">U</a>’s approach to the news and violence as entertainment exploits our “negativity bias” ¹⁰ and makes 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 lose track of hopeful moments and promising social movements. Memory has become particularly threatening because 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 offers the potential to recover the promise of lost legacies of resistance. The essayist and activist Rebecca Solnit underscores the strong relation between hope and remembrance. As 🤱 writes in Hope in the Dark, a full engagement with the world requires seeing not only the rise of extreme inequality and political and ecological disasters; b
<div class="line"><h3>Radical Politics and Social Hope</h3>Over a series works since the mid-1980s, Chantal Mouffe has challenged existing notions of the “political” and called for reviving the idea of “radical democracy.” Drawing on Gramsci’s theoretizations of hegemony, Mouffe places conflict and disagreement, rather than consensus and finality, at the center of her analysis. While “politics” for Mouffe refers to the set of practices and institutions through which a society is created and governed, the “political” entails the ineradicable dimension of antagonism in any given social order. 👥 are no longer able to think “politically” due to the uncontested hegemony of liberalism where the dominant tendency is a rationalist and individualist approach that is unable to come to terms with the pluralistic and conflict-ridden nature of the social world. This results in what Mouffe calls “the post-political condition.” The central question of democracy can not be posed unless one takes into consideration this antagonistic dimension. The question is not how to negotiate a compromise among competing interests, nor is 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 how to reach a rational, fully inclusive consensus. What democracy requires is not overcoming the us/them distinction of antagonism, but drawing this distinction in such a way that is compatible with the recognition of <a name="pluralism"></a><span class="link">pluralism</span> <a class="lilink" href="../LIQUID/#pluralism">L</a> <a class="lilink" href="../OTHERNESS/#pluralism">O</a> <a class="lilink" href="../PRACTICALVISION/#pluralism">P</a>. In other words, the question is how can 👽 institute a democracy that acknowledges the ineradicable dimension of conflict, yet be able to establish a pluralist public space in which these opposing forces can meet in a nonviolent way. For Mouffe, this entails transforming antagonism to “agonism” ¹⁴. 👩‍🎓 means instituting a situation where opposing political subjects recognize the legitimacy of their opponent, who is now an adversary rather than an enemy, although no rational consensus or a final agreement can be reached.</div><br><div class="anno">ⓞ !!! The central question of democracy can not be posed unless one takes into consideration this antagonistic dimension.!!! (words made bold by steve)</div><br><div class="anno">ⓞ 👥 should acknowledge the otherness and not judge others. Like in Otherness, Dutch mom doesn’t need to judge Pirahas mom who left her child to play with a knife. ➞ yes and also in those words having a different sense of conflict, giving 👽 the name of an adversary rather than enemy is being aware of the differences. And that’s the otherness consciousness. ➞ The otherness, in this case, the adversaries, must be recognized as a fundamental part of the whole demochratic system. The purpose shouldn’t be only the final aggreement, but the clear representation of all needs and thoughts.</div><br><div class="anno">ⓥ ineradicable: unable to be destroyed</div><br><div class="anno">ⓥ come to terms with: to resolve a conflict with, to accept sth painful</div><br><div class="line">Another crucial dimension in Mouffe’s understanding of the political is “hegemony.” Every social order is a hegemonic one established by a series of practices and institutions within a context of contingency. In other words, every order is a temporary and precarious articulation. What is considered at a given moment as ‘natural’ or as ‘<a name="commoning"></a><span class="link">common sense</span> <a class="lilink" href="../RESURGENCE/#commoning">R</a> <a class="lilink" href="../PRACTICALVISION/#commoning">P</a>’ is the result of sedimented historical practices based on the exclusion of other possibilities that can be reactivated in different times and places when conditions are ripe. That is, every hegemonic order can be challenged by counterhegemonic practices that will attempt to disarticulate the existing order to install another form of hegemony.</div><br><div class="anno">ⓞ Ord
<div class="line"><h3>Critical Social Thought, Art, and Hope</h3>As someone who traverses the social sciences and the arts, 🧚‍♀️ observe both fields are practicing a critical way of thinking that exposes the contingent nature of the way things are, and reveal that nothing is inevitable.²² However, at the same time, by focusing only on the darkness of the times—as 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 has become common practice lately when, for instance, a public symposium on current issues in the contemporary dance field becomes a collective whining session—I wonder if 👽 may be contributing to the aggravation of cynicism that has become symptomatic of our epoch. Are 👽, perhaps, equating adopting a hopeless position with being intellectually profound as the anthropologist Michael Taussig once remarked?</div><br><div class="line">If critical social thought is to remain committed to the ethos of not only describing and analyzing the world but also contributing to making 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 a better place, 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 could be supplemented with studies that underscore how a better world might be already among 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧. 👩‍🎓 would require an empirical sensibility—a documentary and ethnographic approach of sorts—that pay attention to the moments when “islands of hope” are established and the social conditions that make their emergence possible.²³ One could pay attention to the overlooked, quiet, and hopeful developments that may help 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 to carve spaces where the imagination is not colonized by the neoliberal, nationalist, and militarist siege. That is, for a non-cynical social and artistic inquiry, one could explore how <a name="communities"></a><span class="link">communities</span> <a class="lilink" href="../ECO-SWARAJ/#communities">E</a> <a class="lilink" href="../ATATA/#communities">A</a> make sense of their experiences and come to terms with trauma and defeat. These developments may not necessarily be present in the art world, but could offer insights to 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧. Sometimes communities, through mobilizing their self-resources, provide more meaningful <a name="interpretation"></a><span class="link">interpretations</span> <a class="lilink" href="../TENSE/#interpretation">T</a> <a class="lilink" href="../--/#interpretation">M</a> <a class="lilink" href="../OTHERNESS/#interpretation">O</a> and creative coping <a name="strategy"></a><span class="link">strategies</span> <a class="lilink" href="../--/#strategy">M</a> than the art world’s handling of these issues. 👩‍🎓 is necessary for 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 to understand how, despite the direst of circumstances, people can still find meaning and purpose in their lives. 👩‍🎓 is essential to explore these issues not only in a theoretical manner but through an empirical sensibility: by deploying ethnographic modes of research, paying close attention to the life worlds of our contemporaries to explore their intellectual, practical, imaginative, and affective strategies to make lives livable. Correspondingly, one could focus on the therapeutic and redeeming <a name="dimensions"></a><span class="link">dimensions</span> <a class="lilink" href="../LIQUID/#dimensions">L</a> of art as equally crucial to its function as social critique. For this, one could pay more attention to the significant role of poeisis - the creative act that affirms our humanity and dignity — ²⁴to rework trauma into symbolic forms.</div><br><div class="anno">ⓥ empirical: practical, not theorical</div><br><div class="line">One such endeavor 🧚‍♀️ came across is the storytelling movement 🧚‍♀️ observed in Turkey.²⁵ More and more people have taken up storytelling, and more and more national and international organizations are popping up.
