When Two Southerners Meet on a Tram in Gothenburg, Sweden
Abstract
This text navigates the tensions, contradictions and common ground around the question of justice and violence read through the respective practices of two PhD candidates at HDK-Valand. Their work is rooted in the geographical specificities of South Africa and India and explores the theme of violence, emanating from the “contact points” of their situatedness, which resist immediate “common ground” and yet function as an intervention in how common rhetorical strategies around creative regimes are engaged in the formulation of aesthetic experiences.
