South as a State of Mind, “Coexistence”
Issue 11, fall/winter 2019

South as a State of Mind was founded in Athens in 2012 in order to face the future amidst bleak prognoses brought on by economic crisis and crypto colonization. During the course of its first five issues it became a gathering place for shared intensities and for a growing affective network. Between 2015 and 2017, it was reconfigured temporarily as the journal of documenta 14 for four special issues.
The new issue #11 on “Coexistence” (part of a tetralogy based on four basic needs: maintenance, coexistence, economy, and cultivation) is now out. Our eleventh issue focuses on the ‘practice’ of coexistence – be it emotional, cultural, geographical, or financial – and other, as-yet-undefined modes of togetherness between living beings. Symbiosis, tolerance, and radical hospitality are some of our wishes for a ‘being in common’.
