Straniamenti: teorie in movimento

Abstract

In this issue of “Between,” we propose to bring into play the possibility of estrangement, or rather of estrangements - in the plural. Evoking estrangement means confronting otherness understood as that which destabilises us, sometimes radically, that which puts us in danger and prevents us from stopping in a space of reassuring mastery of the objects of our discourses. What we wanted to do here, however, is to try to project the critical potential of estrangement over a long range, identifying its ramifications, intersections, and convergences with other proposals, similar but not necessarily coincidental, and with objects of study with which it is not commonly made to react.
