Can ‘listening’ foster new forms of relationality in a collapsing world? What forms, formats, rituals and infrastructures of listening to one another have made life liveable, enjoyable or, simply, possible in recent times?
These two issues of our FREEPSY zine collection bring together colleagues from various fields of research and practice to share stories, archival material, ethnographies, speculations or theories around forms of listening to individual or collective experiences that offer a radical mode of witnessing and togetherness, especially in challenging contexts. We welcomed papers and creative interventions addressing listening as an act of ethics and of care. Here, more than just recognition is at stake: a joint construction of a world-in-common can unfold.
