About this title

Synopsis

Can friendship as a political practice offer traction to imagine a borderless world? The startling contemporary rise in aggressive ethno-nationalism and end-times ecological crises have the same root: an inability to be together with humans as much as the natural world. Matt Hern and Am Johal show that porous renditions of being-together animated by friendship suggest a repoliticization of the political that can surpass the foreclosures of the state, speak to a freedom of movement, and find renovated relationships with the more-than-human as much as with each other. This volume includes interviews with Jean-Luc Nancy, Leela Gandhi and Leanne Simpson.
