This article will be a form of repetition, but may not serve to clarify its original offering. What then can it offer? Perhaps it is a reminder of a stimulus but not a recording of the visual, felt and live events. It provides the words we used and the thoughts we had when responding to Susan Leigh Foster’s words. It was not our intention to refute her words, but rather to use them as an initial provocation to serve a wider dialogue, one that is not solely concerned with a purely conceptual turn or body-centric agenda.

Looking back at the project from within the pandemic’s viral choreography, with the forced distancing of bodies and further silencing of already marginalized voices, alongside the simultaneous performative enactment of transnational solidarity, the contributors respond to the ongoing crisis within a wider timely context. The publication includes texts by Susanne Clausen, Susan Gibb, Edgar Schmitz, Maayan Sheleff and Dr Sarah Spies, and a transcription of a conversation between Florian Malzacher, Maayan Sheleff and Jonas Staal.
