I had started a community with the same name 'Contesting Dichotomies' on FB a few months ago. Though, the initial reaction looked promising, like most other things, it died a quick death. The effort here is to resurrect the spirit of the Contesting Dichotomies.
The idea behind the community was reflected in the introductory remarks - "Most of the world, for us, exists in binaries. Sovereignty or anarchy, Man or Women, Domestic or international, legal or Illegal, Science or Metaphysics, Subjugation or emancipation, War or Peace, Global or Local, Soldier or Civilian, State or Non-State...and so on. The truth, as they say, always lies in between. While we have conditioned ourselves to think in terms of these appellations, the world around exists mostly in the blurred lines or the liminal spaces. The discourse that hinges on these terms, therefore, is always predisposed to take us away from reality."
Hope to contribute more to it here.
