Globalization, Mundialización: Civilizing Processes and the Relocation of Languages and Knowledges
Globalization, Mundialización: Civilizing Processes and the Relocation of Languages and Knowledges
This chapter identifies some of the instances in which the denial of the denial of coevalness materializes itself by redressing and implementing long-lasting forces, sensibilities, and rationalities repressed by the one-sided ideology of the “civilizing mission/process,” and its complicity in the subalternization of knowledges and cultural production throughout the planet. Remapping new world order implies remapping cultures of scholarship and the scholarly loci of enunciation from where the world has been mapped. The crisis of “area studies” is the crisis of old borders, be they nation borders or civilization borders. It is also the crisis of the distinction between hegemonic (discipline-based knowledges) and subaltern (area-based knowledges), as if discipline-based knowledges are geographically disincorporated.
Keywords: coevalness, civilizing process, subaltern knowledges, cultural production, new world order, area studies, nation borders, civilization borders, hegemonic knowledges
