In Levinas's thought, the subject emerges and is founded in relationship with the other, in the face-to-face. In response to other's summons, the call to respond with discourse, not violence to the vulnerable face of another person, the subject is constituted, and all human society, hence...

520 |a In Levinas's thought, the subject emerges and is founded in relationship with the other, in the face-to-face. In response to other's summons, the call to respond with discourse, not violence to the vulnerable face of another person, the subject is constituted, and all human society, hence all justice, becomes possible. This relationship, in which the other is always higher than oneself, is complicated by questions of justice and politics. The subject is obliged to respond unreservedly to her neighbor, but what happens when neighbors disagree and the necessity to adjudicate claims arises? This paper describes, based on the author's direct experience and study, the nonviolent practice of relationship-building initiated at Sumud Freedom camp by diaspora Jews, Palestinians and Israelis who came together in the south Hebron desert hills to form a nonviolent community in which to encounter one another. Initiatives such as Sumud Camp do not represent retreats from the political. They do prioritize the interhuman face-to-face, relationship-building, and they seek to evolve political program based on personal investments in other people's well-being. Thus, they represent an instance of Levinasian praxis from which a grass new roots politics might emerge.
