ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that postsecularity can be a useful ethos in the co-construction of political practices, identifying what we submit as potential progressivism within postsecularity, and paying particular attention to affect, tactics, and strategy. It describes and analyses how a postsecular ethos can be generated in conjunction with political movements and how it can benefit them. The chapter focuses on the ways in which the subjectivities and spaces associated with postsecularity connect with political scenarios, and offers an account that attunes thinking to the ethical and political potential of space-making in a way which problematizes straightforward identification of assemblages as progressive or regressive. It also argues that exploring the construction of postsecularity is crucial for understanding and engaging with political mobilisations that bridge divides and exercise a vulnerability that enables the emergence of ethical investment across difference and a sense of common purpose.
