The present session aims to make evident how love, as an interstitial practice, produces a set of collective practices and how, through a mapping of these practices, it is possible to observe the connection between the politics of sensibilities and social conflict. Paraphrasing Melucci, these interstitial practices are nomads of the present: they travel the winding geography that, closer to politics, becomes a map of the situation of the politics of sensibilities. Love as a practice of hope redefines the territory of collective practices that deny the value of closed totality of the political economy of morality existing in the first years of the twenty-first century. The session seeks to emphasize the need and urgency to continue mapping interstitial practices as a key task to understand the metamorphosis of the current process of social structuring. From a postcolonial, post-speciesism”, post-intersectional perspective, we seek to open dialogue on sociologies of bodies and emotions that serve to understand collective actions in a trans-global world. The presentation of theoretical works, reports on empirical research and experiences where love is a constitutive energy of collective practice as their capacity to be nomads of the present and prophets of the future are encouraged.
