What is—and what was—“the world”? Though often treated as
interchangeable with the ongoing and inexorable progress of
globalization, concepts of “world,” “globe,” or “earth”
instead suggest something limited and absolute. This innovative and
interdisciplinary volume concerns itself with this central paradox:
that the complex, heterogeneous, and purportedly transhistorical
dynamics of globalization have given rise to the idea and reality
of a finite—and thus vulnerable—world. Through studies of
illuminating historical moments that range from antiquity to the
era of Google Earth, each contribution helps to trace the emergence
of the world in multitudinous representations, practices, and human
experiences.
