Specific relational modes offer more analytic traction than generalized conviviality.

Evidence

But the major and minor themes I have surveyed here illustrate only a few possible ways in which convivial relations might take shape. Different modes of relating are tied to distinct notions of justice and the good life, which demand further attention. What, for instance, are the possibilities for decolonial justice, cross-cutting solidarity, or ecological responsibility embedded in different relations? Exploring these specific potentials, I would suggest, will prove more intellectually and politically generative than simply describing or theorising the capacity to live with difference, writ large. — Farhan Samanani, Conviviality and its others, 84
