María do Mar Castro Varela und Bahar Oghalai: Freund*innenschaft. Dreiklang einer politischen Praxis
hg. von bildungsLab*
Justice is the goal, but with whom can it be achieved?
This is by no means a marginal question that is posed alongside the supposedly central political discussions, but an explicitly political issue that is at the heart of every social movement.
It is worth thinking here about another concept of political practice: friendship, usually relegated to the private sphere and condemned from the political terrain. Yet friendships are genuinely political relationships whose fundamental characteristics transform our view of the world.
In times of multiple crises and growing global inequalities, this essay traces existing theories of friendship in order to make them productive for a concept of friendship as a political practice.
