Global South(s)

Studying the Global South(s) as spaces and temporalities created by globalisation

This research chair considers the study of the Global South(s) as spaces and temporalities created by globalisation. Drawing on the works of global history, so as to 'denationalise' stories and periodisations, the research chair seeks to revise a mapping that was developed according to the West and in relation to the West. The project aims to analyse new forms of colonisation, racialisation and predation, inward-looking cultural attitudes, the processes of hybridisation, as well as new configurations of universalism and counter-hegemonic strategies.
