Towards a Post-Global Age
IntroductoryNotes abouttheEnd(s) ofGlobalization
andWorld Literature
Thinking about how to approach the question, “What comes after globaliza-
tion?”shapedearlydeliberationsaroundthisbookprojectinearly2020.Ideas
about what a post-global world might look like departed from the increasing
indications of a fundamental historical shift: after thirty years of shaping the
world,thecurrentphaseofacceleratedglobalizationappearedtobecomingto
anend.However,ifatthatmomentourreflectionsfocusedonphenomenasuch
as climate change, global migrations and inequality, and the surge of neona-
tionalismacrosstheglobe,nobodycouldpresagehowthesoontofollowevents
oftheCovid-19pandemicandthewarinUkrainewouldintensifythisnotionof
findingourselvesatahistoricalthreshold,wheretheexhaustionoftheglobal-
istprojectbecomesevidentonceandforall.
From 1989 onwards, the historical present has undoubtedly been domi-
natedbyoptimisticandprogressivediscoursesofall-embracingglobalintegra-
tion, borne by the ideals of economic and social liberalization (King 2017). It
has also been steeped in optimism, both in terms of the philosophy of history
(Fukuyama1992)andintermsoftechnology,aspromotedbythedigitalrevolu-
tion. However, since at least the turn of the millennium, the dark sides and
asymmetries of what Ulrich Beck has termed the “world risk society” (Beck
1999) – with its globally networked societies, economies, and cultures – have
alsogrownmoreandmoreapparent(Stiglitz2002,Appadurai2006,Hirstetal.
2009, Turek 2017, Diamond 2018, Hüther et al. 2019). Today, there are unmis-
takable, fundamental cracks in the formerly hegemonic manner in which the
world has been ordered and perceived from a Western perspective. Over the
past fifteen years, wide-ranging developments have debunked the optimistic
paradigm of globalism – whose manifold inequalities and dead ends certainly
have been glaringly visible for most of the world’s population since 1989. It is
telling that only with the accelerated succession of global crisis also affecting
the Western centers of this globalist optimism – financial crises, epidemics,
militaryconflicts,andnewwavesofbothmigrationanddisplacement–anew
processofreflectiononthepastdecadeshasbeentriggered.
