“If we begin to see that a state of exhaustion is a horizon of collective experience, could we then understand this experience as the point of departure for the formation of a particular form of solidarity?
A solidarity that would (…) lead us to acknowledge that the one thing we share – exhaustion – makes us an inoperative community * (…). A community, however, that can still act, not because it is entitled to do so by the institutions of power, but by virtue of an unconditional, exuberant politics of dedication.
In short, because, as a community of convalescents, we realize in an empty moment of full awareness, that we care.”
Jan Verwoert, in "Tell me what you want, what you really really want", p.70-71
