Collaboration and Co-finitude: An Agenda of Care and Ends

Our collaborative work started in 2019 on the pretext of being part of the organizing committee of the Performance Studies international (PSi) annual conference scheduled for the following year. Under the banner of ‘Crises of Care: Act, respond, engage’, the 2020 conference would bring together various ‘streams’ or sub-conferences that proposed an in-depth focus on a particular theme and corresponding way of working. The four of us (together with Rayya El Zein) proposed a stream titled ‘Ends’. Our initial thinking in connecting our stream to a larger conference on ‘Crises of Care’ was to articulate connections between our work with collaborative methods for thinking, doing and writing (or care for one another) with our shared interests in ideas related to extinction, eschatology, planetarity, mourning and the non-human (or the crises of care themselves).
