{"product_id":"funambulist-n66","title":"The Funambulist N 66","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith this issue, we offer a critique of our own framework of knowledge production. We noticed how the concept of “Global South” has been turned into a handy word to lazily designate two-thirds of the world’s earthly area and 90% of its population, thus flattening the millions of specificities that characterize this grouping. It also often embodies an entity that only exists dependent on its alter ego, the Global North. As such, it denies any form of agency to the peoples designated as “the South” independently from their relationship to the “North,” as we examine in the case of the war in the eastern Congo (\u003cstrong\u003eJosaphat Musamba\u003c\/strong\u003e). The South\/North binary also designates borders as lines (rather than as regimes operating on both sides of these lines) and essentializes the difference between sides. Can Blackness and Indigeneity in Abya Yala be read without a fundamental split at the settler colonial line that separates North and Central-South Americas (\u003cstrong\u003eAshley Ngozi Agbasoga\u003c\/strong\u003e)? Can 20th century Korea’s history show us that the line that currently separates the north (usually presented as part of the Global South) and the south (usually presented as part of the Global North) particularly illustrates the North\/South framework’s lack of complexity (\u003cstrong\u003eLina Eunji Chang and Andrei-Sergei Kim\u003c\/strong\u003e)?
