The insistence on a relationship that goes beyond empathy and explicitly involves ‘sharing’ seems to envision an alliance that can generate productive political change. While the use of the term ‘borderspace’ by Pollock in the context of art that is generated from the violence emerging from the material border dividing the US and Mexico is perhaps unhelpful here, the idea that my relationship with Erika can go beyond empathy is both persuasive and alluring. As Pollock affirms,

an unknown other was always a partner-in-difference and co-emergent. Thus we cannot but share the pain or trauma, i.e. the events of the other. We cannot but bear it, transport it, and potentially create a future precisely by such sharing, by recognizing co-humanity.
