Q33: For a New Gentleness

In "The Three Ecologies," Félix Guattari asked to “organize new micropolitical and microsocial practices, new solidarities, a new gentleness, together with new aesthetic and new analytic practices regarding the formation of the unconscious. He continues: "It appears to me that this is the only possible way to get social and political practices back on their feet, working for humanity and not simply for a permanent reequilibration of the capitalist semiotic universe." This issue seeks to present examples of such practices and solidarities. It is particularly interested in imagining ways of bridging between what Guattari terms the "unconscious" and "humanity."
