“…In conclusion, we would like to relate our results to Caraus and Parvu's (2019) inspiring attempt to theorise cosmopolitanism by setting it in the context of refugee migration (see also Caraus and Paris 2019). They see migration and cosmopolitanism as consubstantial, since migration, without impediments, is a given starting point for a cosmopolitan "citizen of the world".…”

Researchers have shown that seemingly "apolitical" volunteering for refugees framed within humanitarian parameters is actually highly political. Fleischmann and Steinhilper's (2017) review of research on the upsurge in German citizens' commitment to refugees in 2015 suggests that, by avoiding politically contextualising their own work, volunteers became complicit in an increasingly repressive migration regime that reproduces hegemonic inequalities and hierarchies. On the other hand, these authors point out the potential of current volunteering for initiating political transformations, in line with Rancière's (1999Rancière's ( , 2010 understanding of the political as a "rupture" in the dominant order. They see unique points of access for refugees

“…We then analyse our interviewees' reflections on their volunteering and activism through the lens of cosmopolitanism. In the concluding section, we relate our results to the theoretical work on cosmopolitanism that specifically sets it in the context of recent refugee migration (Caraus and Parvu 2019).…”

“…On the other hand, it seems that one could argue that almost everything or anything can be political in so far as it deconstructs existing foundations, and then all such acts are potentially normative, in that they may rupture an unjust order. This second pathway is apparent in the works of scholars, like Caraus (2015, 2016a, 2016b), who equate the political with any normative vision that deviates from the existing order. For example, Kalonaityte (2018: 523) uses Rancière’s framework to valorize a variety of acts because they may result in political moments, in so far as they challenge and “transcend the taken-for-granted divisions and categories of the order of the police”; such acts include insurrectionist movements, alliances, protests, art, scholarly, literary, and artistic work, and processes of litigation.…”

Rethinking the political in the pluriverse: The ethico-political significance of care

Postfoundational political thought is characterized by a distinction between “politics” (a socio-symbolic order that delineates what is knowable and thinkable) and “the political” (the instantiation of a socio-symbolic order). This article critically engages with the postfoundational thought of Jacques Rancière to rethink “the political” in the context of the pluriverse, a matrix of multiple distinct yet interconnected worlds. In so doing, this article challenges the idea that “care” is not properly political. Specifically, I argue that in the context of the pluriverse, socio-symbolic orders, or worlds, are not instantiated as such; rather, they must be established and, importantly, reestablished in the face of one another. From this vantage point, caring for and maintaining worlds—especially worlds marginalized by relations of power in the global political economy—is of political and ethical significance. This article thus offers a decolonial and feminist approach to thinking about the political as it (a) destabilizes the Westerncentric assumption that there is one-world, and takes different worlds as worlds seriously; and (b) centers issues of care and reproduction, demonstrates how they are politically and ethically salient, and thereby contributes to the project of foregrounding the political import of care.

Kampf um politische Handlungsfähigkeit. Grundriss einer normativen Theorie globalen zivilen Ungehorsams

Dieser Beitrag schreibt Akten globalen zivilen Ungehorsams eine bedeutende Rolle innerhalb des nichtidealen Teils einer globalen Gerechtigkeitstheorie zu. Meine These lautet, dass globaler ziviler Ungehorsam gerechtfertigt sein kann, um politische Handlungsfähigkeit zurückzugewinnen. Zu diesem Zweck werde ich eine dünne Definition zivilen Ungehorsams entwickeln und in die liberalen und republikanischen Rechtfertigungsmodelle einführen. Weil sich diese aber nicht eins zu eins auf die globale Arena übertragen lassen, entwickle ich zwei mögliche Reaktualisierungen: Globaler ziviler Ungehorsam erfüllt eine moralisch signifikante Funktion als Korrektiv im globalen Menschenrechtsregime und als Instrument zur Politisierung globaler Herrschaft. Diese konstruktiven Funktionen kulminieren in dem Ziel, politische Handlungsfähigkeit auf globaler Ebene herzustellen.
