The We in Times of Physical Distancing. From face-to-face interactions to enduring we-identities

Description du projet

Un sentiment d’identité partagée pendant une crise de pandémie

Au sortir d’une crise comme la pandémie de COVID-19, qui a exigé la prise de mesures de distanciation sociale et de confinement pour enrayer la propagation du virus, il est important de tenir compte de la qualité et de la quantité des liens sociaux. Le projet Enduring We, financé par l’UE, concevra un nouveau cadre théorique qui représentera la constitution de configurations du «nous» qui vont au-delà du moment et de l’endroit présents et intègrent la position plurielle du «vous» et du «eux». Globalement, les conclusions du projet mettront en lumière les implications de ce nouveau paradigme dans le domaine politique à l’heure de déterminer comment cultiver un sentiment d’identité (européenne) partagée.

Objectif

"What does it mean to feel, act, and think as member of a we in times of cultural upheaval and uncertainty, physical distancing and social isolation? In the aftermath of a pandemic crisis with its consequent confinement, a renewed critical reflection on how to maintain the social ties that bind us together is of urgent societal and political significance. As the first multi-level approach to the topic, this project aims to develop a novel theoretical framework to account for the constitution of configurations of the “we” that go beyond the here and now and involve the plural position of you and they. Proceeding from the working hypothesis that in order to meet this goal one need to shift the theoretical focus from the “You” to the “Third” that is to say, from dyadic face-to-face (immediate) relations of reciprocity between I and You, to ternary relations of ""mediated reciprocity"", involving the figure and the functions of a “third party”, the project will integrate hitherto unrelated phenomenological investigations on the “we” with current social theories on the roles of the “third” in the social sciences. It will also combine theoretical work with the analysis of two very telling case studies and historical examples. In so doing, it will break new ground by elaborating a particular aspect of the relation between the we, the inter-subjective dyad (I-you), and the third and offer a new phenomenological paradigm to account for the complexity of the social relation involved in enduring and normatively mediated configurations of the “we” that is, at the same time, an innovative way of conceiving the “we” in view of the ethical and political stakes it entails and a renovated approach to political questions related to the constitution of shared identities. The project will also explore the implications of this new paradigm in the political field for addressing the question of how we are to cultivate a sense of shared identity (European identity) despite separatist drifts."
