Tanja Staehler explores the challenges of expanding this dyadic interaction to encompass community and political dimensions. By analyzing the ambiguous realms of the erotic, artistic, and political, she illustrates how these aspects can highlight the vulnerability of the Other while maintaining the integrity of ethical responsibility.
