Abstract

The article explores different dimensions of “We” as a sociological concept. Our interdependency on each other in a given community, whether real or imagined, is a basic requirement for any form of solidarity. Theoretically, this conceptualization is based on the intersubjective dependency of the Self on the Other in a Hegelian dialectic, which is problematized in the post-colonial concept of Othering. Othering, i.e. the “making different” of individuals who are constructed as socio-economically or ethnically/nationally subaltern in the Spivakian sense, is described as an essential factor for the fragmentation of society, which can further de-solidarization. Based on empirical findings, the article argues for an understanding of solidarity not as binary, but as a continuum with varying degrees of interconnectedness that can change both horizontally and vertically.
