| - | “On the most general level, we suggest that caring be viewed as a species activity that includes everything that we do to maintain, continue, and repair our ‘world’ so that we can live in it as well as possible. That world includes our bodies, our selves, and our environment, all of which we seek to interweave in a complex, life-sustaining web.” | + | Even though in our societies the independent individual is the most valued, we’re all embedded in interdependent networks of care – whether we acknowledge it or not. In fact, for many these networks – mostly constituted by family and friends – are fundamental as they provide for: |

| + | • Material support (for example, by being granted free or cheap rent, by using other people’s cars)\\ | ||
| + | • Financial support (for example, lending money without interest) | ||
| + | In networks of care, a constant give and take is key – even if this takes place across different registers. How can we contribute to the development of our own networks of care? How can we make them more inclusive, beyond families and close friends? Can we activate them locally as well as trans-locally? | ||

| + | “Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act. When you recognize uncertainty, you recognise that you may be able to influence the outcomes – you alone or you in concert with a few dozen or several million others. Hope is an embrace of the unknown and the unknowable, an alternative to the certainty of both optimists and pessimists”. | ||

| + | Working in the cultural realm is an ongoing process of political positioning which engages, though its own mediums, language and discursive site, in the larger forces at work. Negotiation is understood as the opposite of principle. It it the most repressed element of the idea of democracy, as it inevitably contains some compromise, and compromise is usually seen as a declaration of weakness. Negotiation offers a process of articulation, and the acknowledgement of often antagonistic positions in order to come out with productive modes of commonality-a being-in-common towards further dialogues and complexifications. A [[lexicon#support|support]] structure is in a certain sense a questioning structure, a supplement, a somehow external organization, at least with a certain autonomy form the situation it addresses; this allows it to pose, expose and revise questions in relationship to its context and how to operate within it. Support is negotiation, not the application of principle but a conversation towards something that it does not define. | ||
