o my friends…

This page carries some notes and information from the 2021 summer intensive “o my friends there are no friends” jointly convened by Prof. Steven Henry Madoff and Prof. Mick Wilson (28 June to 16 July 2021). Guest speakers during the intensive are: Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Sarah Pierce, Sibyl A. Schwarzenbach, Céline Condorelli, Helena Reckitt, Jota Mombaça, Claire Tancons, Shuddha Sengupta, and Walter Mignolo. The intensive comprised a stand-alone SVA Summer Residency Program and a workshop as the central part of the University of Gothenburg’s free-standing course On Friendship and the Political Imaginary.

Considerations regarding what friendship is and means across individual, collective and societal registers, in respect of both cooperative and antagonistic entanglements, have complex and multiple histories. Some would argue that these must be understood in order to realize an engaged ethical life that takes account of principles of affiliation in their diverse expressions as: love, familial affection, extra-familial affection, fidelity, loyalty, consensus, goodwill, recognition, sameness and difference, oppression and freedom, and the intimate opacities of relationality. Here we will consider the politics and ontology of friendship, the metaphysics of togetherness and agency, and survey the apparatus of support structures within the spectrum of filial relations as they are entwined with gender, race and governmentality.
