How does thought or lived experience translate into action? The participants of the Study Circle Uneasy Alliances here engage in a conversation on the necessity and challenges of forging new forms of alliance today that can foster solidarity across different social scales. They both explore alliances of unease that are motivated by shared experiences of living under neoliberalism as well as the alliances that become uneasy by bringing together groups with different interests and backgrounds including technology, environment, and non-Western perspectives. This conversation is the outcome of a collective writing and editing process that took its cue from a physical meeting at the Berlin-based space Spektrum in November 2018 and that has since continued through an online textpad. The results are suggestive fragments to be further explored in the individual contributions and live activities at the transmediale festival.

Können Infrastrukturen affektiv sein? Wie stehen Kontroll- und Klassifizierungssysteme und gegenwärtige Problematiken der Fürsorge in Beziehung zueinander? Welche Infrastrukturen helfen dabei, Menschen zu verbinden und neue Welten aufzubauen? Mit Fragen wie diesen beschäftigen sich die Teilnehmer*innen des Study Circles in der folgenden Konversation; dabei bringen sie Beispiele für Objekte, Gefühle, Technologien und Praktiken ein, die als affektive Infrastrukturen gelten können. Entgegen der Versuchung, die Einträge zu organisieren und klassifizieren, werden sie hier nur diskutiert, aber nicht definiert. In dem Wunsch, Möglichkeiten für Verbindungen und Assoziationen zu eröffnen, entsteht kein Lexikon, sondern ein Archipel von ganz verschiedenen Elementen. Die bewusst ohne klaren Anfangs- oder Endpunkt gehaltene Konversation zielt darauf ab, Handeln und Nachdenken über die eng miteinander verwobenen Realitäten unserer Zeit anzuregen – ebenso wie das Bedürfnis nach lebendigen Infrastrukturen, die kontinuierliche Verschiebungen und Transformationen ermöglichen.

Can infrastructures be affective? How do systems of control and classification relate to today’s problematics of care? Which infrastructures assist in binding people together and in building new worlds? In the following conversation, Study Circle participants engage with such questions and bring in examples of objects, feelings, technologies, and practices that constitute affective infrastructures. Resisting the temptation to organize and classify, these entries are discussed but not defined. Wishing to keep the possibility for connections and associations open, what emerges is not a lexicon but rather an archipelago of items. Intentionally lacking a clear beginning or end, this conversation aims to stimulate thought and action about the interwoven realities of our times, and the need for living infrastructures that permit continuous shifts and transformations.
