Trust is better

Andie Nordgren • The short instructional manifesto for relationship anarchy

relationship anarchy

trust, that your partner does not wish to hurt you (no distrustful approach)

no search for constant validation

support and quickly forgive withdrawing (Zurückhaltung)

chances to talk, explain, see you and be responsible in the relationship

Andie Nordgren, published in Swedish as “Relationsanarki i 8 punkter” by Interacting Arts in 2006

Change through communication

Andie Nordgren • The short instructional manifesto for relationship anarchy

relationship anarchy

communication is nessescary to deviate from the norm

conversations at the heart, not only to solve problems

Ask each other about stuff, and be explicit!

The Road to Relationship Anarchy

relationship anarchy

Stockholm, during early 2000s

born out of an environment which included and celebrated an array of counterculture

Idea:

love does not need a specific set of rules

love could be felt towards more than one person at a time

all of our relationships can be construed as valuable

based on free will, and a radical wish to avoid defining relationships by attempts to exercise power over each other

no relationship models based on ideas of gender and sexuality

cage:

strict rules for relationships (Love = special and dangerous)

Those who entered the cage willingly would both be subject to control by the other(s), as well as be forced to exercise control over the other(s) behavior

more work

skewed power dynamics

needs power analysis too

Beziehungsanarchie – Liebe ist Liebesbeziehung

relationship anarchy

Einleitung:

Sie erweitert romantische und andere menschliche Begegnungen zu einer gemein-samen freien Entscheidung der Beziehungsgestaltung und lehnt dabei die gesell-schaftlich vorgegebene Richtung und Hierarchisierung von romantischen Liebes-beziehungen über andere Liebesbeziehungsformen ab

Ideen des Polyamorie-Konzepts und Ansätzen verschiedener anarchistischer undfeministischer Strömungen

autonomes, individualisiertes Gestalten von Liebesbeziehungen anstrebt

queer-feministischepolitische Philosophie (De las Heras Gomez)

Freiheit und Emanzipation sind für ein einvernehmliches Einstimmen notwendige Zutaten (Nelson 2021)

Überforderung des Individuums

Noch-Nicht-Ablegen-Können kolonialer und kapitalistischer Normen

sehr starke normative Kräfte der kapitalistisch-patriarchalen Gesellschaft

erfordert Bereitschaft Zeit miteinander und in Selbstreflexion zu verbringen

oft nur für privilegierte Personen

gegenwärtige gesellschaftliche Situation bietet keinen Raum für Liebe
