Discussion paper: When the Cinderellas unite

Abstract

The accelerated context of uncertainty and objective or subjective precariousness in which we are immersed, aggravated by Covid, has dashed the hopes of thousands of people who cannot find comfort in an "outside" marked by the weakening of community and identity networks. [...]if we look at the analysis of reality, we must be aware that we work in cracked territories, in a barren land where community ties have been broken, and dozens of broken dolls survive adrift on the currents (Mirowski, 2009). [...]if our practice could be exemplified by this tale, our goal would be for Cinderella to throw off the yoke of those who condemn her to prostration, allowing her to rise up to recreate new forms of power. [...]the text we draw on is a clear example of the various types of dances with power via which AR has got Cinderellas involved over many decades: some shorter, others more intense, some with abrupt ends and others that are still going on. [...]the game of life, in a good fight with neoliberal dystopia, becomes a kind of unbridled dance for survival in which only one person is left dancing at the end. on the wreckage of the rest.
