Wie aus einer spezifisch strukturierten Position genau jene Strukturen kritisieren / umarbeiten / subvertieren, die die eigene Position erst hervorbrin-gen? Diese in den Gender Studies seit langem diskutierten Fragen werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit an Felix Gonzalez-Torres’ Bonbon-Installationen gestellt. Theoretischer Ausgangspunkt bildet dabei Jacques Lacans Spiegelstadium, das – als Kreuzungspunkt von Imaginarem, Symbo-lischem und Realem konzipiert – zur Erorterung des Lacan’schen Subjektbegriffs herangezogen wird.

In this editorial and the five articles comprising this special issue, not only are the challenges to such an endeavor explored, but also the achievements in the present and emerging imaginaries of organizing solidarity beyond an exploitative understanding of difference. The perspectives this special issue brings together include re-centering the Eurocentric concepts of organizing and solidarity, solidarity in research, solidarity as affective practice as well as the political and socio-economic relations that frame them. In addition to promoting an understanding of subjectivity shaped by power relations embedded in multiple social experiences, the articles in this special issue elaborate on solidarity in difference rather than a benevolent s...

To extend existing relational approaches to work, this article reads a case study of a cultural initiative through Hannah Arendt’s notions of labour, work and (political) action. With the latter being a form of engagement marked by plurality – the co-presence of equality and difference – the analysis shows how work-based solidarity as political activity is a temporary and precarious phenomenon. It necessitates constant engagement of various material and discursive elements to create its conditions. This article also shows how work-based solidarity is enabled through particular arrangements of activities stretching over both the socio-economic and the political sphere in a way that maintains the political mode of work distinct from socio-economic reasoning without ignoring its economic necessities.

Aus diesem Blickwinkel werden Machtasymmetrien entlang und zwischen sozialen Kategorisierungen - wie Geschlecht, sexuelle Orientierung, Klasse, (Dis-)Ability und vermeintliche ethnische Zugehörigkeit - in Frage gestellt. Die Beiträge führen unterschiedliche Wissensformen zusammen und zeigen auf, wie sich entsprechende Praxen in den letzten Jahren ausdifferenziert haben und wie sie für die Ziele emanzipatorischer Bewegungen nutzbar gemacht werden können.
