Solidaritäten transformieren. Praktiken und Infrastrukturen in der Migrationsgesellschaft

Our present is marked by upheaval, crises, and challenges. Pandemics and wars are challenging our societies. Climate change and digitalization are fundamentally altering the way we live together. The reality of global mobility and migration societies requires us to rethink democracy and belonging. The global wave of disengagement calls on everyone to redefine their relationships with one another. But what practices and infrastructures are necessary for a migration society? Since 2021, the Transforming Solidarities research project has been investigating this question in the fields of work, health, and housing. The Migration Society Laboratory in Berlin examined how solidarity can provide the necessary answers to these challenges. And: how these are negotiated, enabled, or prevented. This volume presents the results of the research project, theoretical considerations on solidarity, forms of desolidarization, reflections on methodological and solidarity practices, investigations of infrastructures of solidarity, and suggestions for developing new solidarity practices. Thirty-five concise essays examine solidarity as a transformative force from different perspectives.
