Reformulating Complex Encounters: Quantic Logics of Transversal Solidarities

Solidarity is an elusive concept used and abused for varieties of meaning-making purposes. Compelling cases have competed to characterize it. By definition, solidarity refers to a complexity in terms of theoretical categorization and empirical conceptualization. Therefore, the “fate of solidarity” has somehow remained indeterminate over the course of world history. By revisiting non-Cartesian pragmatics and quantum-logical approaches, this chapter explores transversal implications of solidarity mobilizations. Seen from pragmatist quantal lenses, morphogenetic traits of “solidarity complexions” are mobilized by co-extensive socio-physical/psycho-social constellations. Transnational solidarities move through concurrent dynamics beyond social space–time. “Moving memories” and “traveling imageries” encompass past, present, and future solidarity experiences. Solidarity waves flow thru some quantic patterns like entanglement, indeterminacy, and non-locality. Running fluidly at deeper dimensions, sentimental solidarity streams are founded by and establish psycho-social habitats. Working plastically at surface layers, phenomenal solidarity tides appear athwart socio-physical fields and practices. Plainly put, there is not any clear-cut boundary that separates betwixt the inner lives of “virtual” altruisms and the outer worlds of “real” sacrifices. Hence, “solidarity complexes” (interior virtualities) and “complex solidarities” (exterior realities) should be investigated in combinatorial manners. By way of conclusion, four sentiments (joy-love-lust-pain) are found significant for reconfiguring four (mechanic-organic-parochial-pluriversal) solidarity pathways.
