A War on People: Dying-With and the Relational Ethics and Politics of Community

This talk, given by Jarret Zigon, explores the politics and ethics of ecstatic relationality. In doing so, it considers perhaps the central experience of drug users around the globe who participate in anti-drug war political activity, that is, the experience of dying-with.

This experience is not only a key motivation for becoming politically active.  But it also initiates an awareness of the essential openness and relationality of being, an intertwining of existence, that through their political activity has given way to a community of whoever arrives.

Presented by the Anthropology Department at the New School for Social Research
