ABSTRACT:

The introductory note to the special issue on the first-personal plural briefly positions the contributions that follow within today's philosophical-political contexts and provides an overview of the structure and aims of the special issue, which progresses from discussions of mobilizing practices on social media to “we-discourses” in poetry and narrative fiction.
