In Search of the Global East: Thinking between North and South

PL

Od zakończenia zimnej wojny dzielenie świata na Globalną Północ i Globalne Południe stało się ogólnie przyjętym sposobem myślenia o globalnej różnicy. Ta opozycja binarna wymazuje jednak istnienie tego, co nazywam Globalnym Wschodem – krajów i społeczeństw, które zajmują pozycję pośrednią, pomiędzy Północą a Południem. Niniejszy artykuł problematyzuje geopolitykę wiedzy powstałą wskutek wykluczenia Globalnego Wschodu, nie tylko z Globalnej Północy i Południa, ale z koncepcji globalności w ogóle. Argumentuje, że w celu odzyskania Globalnego Wschodu dla nauki musimy wykorzystać stanowisko strategicznego esencjalizmu. Analizuje w tym kontekście globalne powiązania kryjące się za szklankami z fazowanego szkła z IKEI, by pokazać konieczność pomyślenia Globalnego Wschodu w sercu globalnych stosunków, a nie poza nimi. Myślenie o Globalnym Wschodzie jako przestrzeni liminalnej problematyzuje pojęcia Północy i Południa na rzecz bardziej inkluzywnego, ale również mniej dookreślonego myślenia teoretycznego.

Carving up the world into Global North and Global South has become an established way of thinking about global difference since the end of the Cold War. This binary, however, erases what this paper calls the Global East – those countries and societies that occupy an interstitial position between North and South. This paper problematises the geopolitics of knowledge that has resulted in the exclusion of the Global East, not just from the Global North and South, but from notions of globality in general. It argues that we need to adopt a strategic essentialism to recover the Global East for scholarship. To that end, it traces the global relations of IKEA’s bevelled drinking glass to demonstrate the urgency of rethinking the Global East at the heart of global connections, rather than separate from them. Thinking of such a Global East as a liminal space complicates the notions of North and South towards more inclusive but also more uncertain theorising.
