Towards a politics of “co(m)passionment”: community and corporeality in Modus Operandi AND

Abstract

Through a situated conversation alongside the practice of commoning and the issues of the common and the community, this text re-visits the trajectory of research and the inherent concerns of Modus Operandi AND - a transversal and practice-based approach to the politics of togetherness and the operative modes of the Event that I’ve been investigating since 2005. MO_AND rests in the interchange between the ethnographical ways of doing I’ve been practicing as an anthropologist and procedures coming from other fields (mainly dance/performance and, most recently, psychology). The newest tool-concept formulated within the framework of this research, “co(m)passionment”, is also presented here and the embodied consequences that may emerge out of its practice explored.
