» On solidarity (I) from Before the Law
I want to try to systematize my thoughts about the recent solidarity thread (or should I say, meme? -- I don't want to, I'm an old-word person like Benjamin rather than a new-word person like Derrida . . . ) [Read More]

» Solidarity: A Meme Whose Time Has Come from The Left End of the Dial
In late September of last year, I came upon a post by Cernig (An Argument for a Coalition of the Left) in which he argues for some an American political movement, using Poland's Solidarity Union as a template. Over the next several days, he further f... [Read More]

Commie Curmudgeon has one, Much-Needed Definitions of "Solidarity"
Posted by: Eric | Feb 11, 2006 9:38:05 AM
Alright. I've reached a point reading all this, that clearly demonstrates I am utterly lacking an understanding of the "Third". I didn't start out that way. What I didn't think I was confused about, I have become confused over.
Is anyone here willing to offer me insight / links?

Touched by bloodless abstraction; Nation's Snowmen; The Politics of 1999
Posted by: Matt | Feb 11, 2006 1:32:18 PM
I'm not sure if this is relevant or not.
Posted by: luke | Feb 11, 2006 4:03:00 PM
Ricia, in its simplest formulation the "Third" refers to all of those who are not here before me, all of those I am not engaged with when my attention is focused on the person immediately in front of me - all the "other Others" as Derrida once said. Within the context of the current discussion, it seems that its meaning has been broadened to include the Universal, Justice, or even the Political in general.
I am not sure if that helps.

Luke, I don't see how the post by Norm Geras adds very much.
Posted by: Matt | Feb 11, 2006 5:29:04 PM
Matt, really? I don't know Norm Geras at all, but this post seems to me highly significant as a concrete example. Don't have time to go into why here but I vote to put it on the list . . .

Luke, Matt, Adam: I've added it as "adjacent" to this conversation.
Posted by: Jon | Feb 11, 2006 7:13:26 PM
the 'other Others' i get. but... well... thanx matt... i'll take that back to the 'reads' and see if i can better wrap my head around it.
appreciated.

I'd say you're welcome, but I'm fairly certain you meant to thank Alain.
Posted by: Matt | Feb 12, 2006 10:31:30 PM
Jon, FYI, another one.
Posted by: Adam Thurschwell | Feb 13, 2006 2:57:38 AM
I put up some thoughts on this too, yesterday.

Thanks for assembling this Jon. One thing: Attitude Adjustor is Chris, not Carl.
take care,
Nate
Posted by: Nate | Feb 14, 2006 1:48:22 AM
Apologies. Fixed.
Posted by: Jon | Feb 14, 2006 1:55:58 AM
And another. (Looks to see if Anthony's armed with ducks. Is satisfied he isn't. Gets shot in the face by the VP who mistook him for a quail.)
Posted by: Scott Eric Kaufman | Feb 14, 2006 3:08:57 AM
oops... thanx Alain!
