Collaboration is one of the guiding terms of an emergent political sensibility in which certain collectivities and mutalities are being redefined as modes of affectual politics. Collaboration, literally, means working together with others, especially in an intellectual endeavour. The workshop from October 7-13 will elaborate on the actual differences that shift between the various coexisting layers of meaning and investigate the impact of a contemporary concept of collaboration -- at both, theoretical and practical levels. What is at stake is the very notion of establishing a new understanding of the term ‘together’ within a dynamic of ‘working together’.
