The Research Unit‘s initial thesis still holds relevant: Crises and conflicts in late modern societies contribute to more and more urgent social and political debates about the self-understanding and the rules of cohabitation, as well as about who is part of the ’Us‘ that can negotiate these questions legitimately. In our first funding phase, it became clear that conceptions and imaginations of notions as diverse as justice, human rights and the common good, general interest, the commons, solidarity and community are central moments in practices of collectivity. In our second funding phase, therefore, we put special emphasis on these notions. We place collectives front and center because they are important initiators of negotiations around community, the common good, and solidarity.
