Neighbours have been represented by images ranging from that of the monster and alien, to those of strangers or friends. This transdisciplinary unit explores the shifts in understanding the neighbour as they overlap with, and are consequential for, conceiving of ‘the self’, responsible political/moral decision-making and action, and the nature of sameness and difference as political categories. Attention is paid to associated themes such as those of ‘gift’, ‘sacrifice’, ‘love’, ‘hospitality’, and ‘democracy’.
