He develops an illuminating account of how the social relations constitutive of globalization produce new forms of subjectivity, lifestyles and moral subjects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This brilliant book by one of France’s most eminent social theorists is the first major work on globalization and the state to bring history, culture and the analysis of power into a single and vivid method. Filled with delicious insights into subjectivity, the senses, crime, fashion and marketing, Bayart offers a trenchant and original argument about the dynamics of a world which combines emergence and emergency. This is historical sociology at its literate best, a must-read for scholars in any field who seek to understand globalization without any preconceptions.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e-- Arjun Appardurai, \u003ci\u003eThe New School, New York City\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“Bayart’s special way of mixing vivid examples from all over the globe with daring theoretical interpretations breathes new life into the concepts of globalization, governmentality and subjectivation. Irony and perspicacity combine beautifully in this book. With great panache he shows that our everyday practices are part and parcel of an emerging global governmentality. We may feel that globalization is something that happens to us but in many respects we are deeply involved in its making. The message is clear: globalization is us.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e-- Peter Geschiere, \u003ci\u003eUniversity of Amsterdam\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreface\u003c\/b\u003e Yours globally.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter I Two centuries of globalisation: the changing scale of State and capitalism.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe limits of globalisation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobalisation: a concept and an event.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe foundational 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobalisation: two or three things that we know about it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter II The State, a product of globalisation.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe dead man’s reprieve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe privatisation of States as a principle of hybridization and straddling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe transnational production of national memories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrontiers, smuggling and State formation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA very national ‘international civil society’.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTransnational crime in the service of the State.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe transnational ferment: the latest proofs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobalisation, the motor of State formation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter III The social foundations of globalisation.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe transnational historical fields.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe global web of social relations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobalisation as networking?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter IV Globalisation and political subjectivation: the imperial moment (1830-1960).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA point of method.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eColonisation as experience of subjectivation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExtraversion and coercion in imperial subjectivation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter V Globalisation and political subjectivation: the neo-liberal period (1980-2004).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobal social institutions and political subjectivation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe diffuse social practices of global subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe ‘human types’ of globalisation: main roles and American stars.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe ‘human types’ of globalisation from below: the importance of the bit players.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobalisation: nation-state and individuation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter VI The global techniques of the body.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMerchandise and subjectivation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe globalisation and appropriation of merchandise.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMerchandise and the reinvention of difference.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMerchandise and political subjectivation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobalisation in movement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe globalisation of gestures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe senses of globalisation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe world in movement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe global political techniques of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion When waiting is an urgent matter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobal Godot.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobalisation as a liminal condition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlenum and void in global governmentality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes to Preface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes to chapter 1.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes to chapter 2.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes to chapter 3.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes to chapter 4.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes to chapter 5.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes to chapter 6.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes to conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404373762391,"sku":"9780745636689","price":23.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780745636689.jpg?v=1730486261","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/global-subjects-9780745636689","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
