Der Beitrag geht dem utopischen und queer_feministischen Potenzial von Relationalität nach. Zentral ist dabei die Frage, inwiefern das Konzept der Relationalität es ermöglicht, gegenwärtige Formen des gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens zu problematisieren, das Brüchige der Gegenwart zum Einsatz von Utopie zu machen und alternative Ethiken, Praktiken und Werte zu generieren. Die Betrachtung erfolgt auf der Grundlage der Arbeiten von Judith Butler, Sara Ahmed und Édouard Glissant, in welchen Relationalität aus queer_feministischer und postkolonialer Perspektive beleuchtet wird.

In this essay, we join Linda Tuhiwai Smith’s (1999) and Eve Tuck’s (2009) call to decolonize and de-center “damage-centered” research, embedded in settler/colonial ways of knowing. We attend to the ethical responsibility and intimate relationalities that this contemporary moment requires of us as privileged feminist, queer, global south, and South Asian scholars. We introduce yaariyan, baithak, and gupshup to theorize queer feminist care in/as research practices. As ethics of care, compassion, and collectivity, these practices enable us to study and share knowledges together. Building on transnational feminist and queer scholarship (Chowdhury and Philipose 2016; Banerjea et al. 2017), we argue that responsible knowledges mean thinking about methods as relational rather than transactional and relationality as activated and not automatic. We explore how gupshup and baithak provide methodologies of co-production of knowledge, inclusion, accountability, sharing, and reflection. This work must be located in different frameworks of home, diaspora, and language. Pakistan, we contend, is always already a transnational space in which gender and sexuality have been categorized (to deadly consequences) but not contained as words which denote experiences, identities, practices, desires, and histories. It is these words that we reach for in and through our friendship as a condition of possibility of a different kind of knowledge-making.
