Summary, Etc.  

요약This dissertation examines the collective ethical vision that informs friendship, practices of care and solidarity-building among feminist activists in Tamil Nadu, southern India. It focuses on the intimate lives of the Tamilaga Penngal Oringinaippu (TPO), a feminist collective that envisions and enacts an alternative ethic of social life that challenges regional social, political and gender norms. While they conduct publicly-oriented work by strategizing campaigns and protests, the members of the TPO simultaneously perform a vital task at the level of everyday intimate relations: they collectively cultivate desirable ways to live that resist gendered and caste-based norms of Tamil society. Thus, the TPO feminists are engaged in an ethics of evaluating how to live and conduct meaningful political work with feminist friends and comrades across different caste, class, ethnic and religious groups. By attending to feminists' ethical impetus to build solidarity and perform care for others in their social and political worlds, this study illuminates how the TPO creatively repurpose a combination of ethical and moral resources such as Liberation theology, Marxism and feminism towards multiple decades of activist work.By focusing on the ongoing, intimate labors that undergird social movements, this dissertation foregrounds the "everyday" as a critical frame of political life. In the last few decades, activists around the world have raised questions regarding the challenges of building solidarities across social movements, as well as social differences of race, ethnicity, class, caste and religion. A primary concern articulated by activists is: how can solidarities be sustained in the long-term, beyond an "event" or moment of "crisis"? In Solidarity attends to this concern by grounding itself in detailed ethnographic and oral history research to demonstrate how activists across social locations and movement-based struggles perform painstaking ethical labor in the everyday to sustain solidarities over longer timeframes. In doing so, this dissertation redirects our attention from "crisis" as a temporally bound marker of coalition-building, to the everyday, ongoing maintenance work of relationships that allow activists to re-imagine social life and envision new horizons for social and political transformation in the longue duree.
