How do discourses about Brazil's emergence as a global actor at the
beginning of the twenty-first century reinforce particular temporal
and spatial formations that enable the perpetuation of
international hierarchies? This volume argues that while the
phenomenon of 'emergence' was celebrated as the conquest of more
authority for Brazil on the global stage, especially as Brazil was
presented as a leader of developing countries, discourses about
Brazil as an actor who was finally arriving at its promised future
as a global player were also perpetuating a spatiotemporal
structure that continues to reward some societies and individuals
at the expense of many others. Brazil's success or failure has
depended from the beginning on how well it would perform its
pre-determined role as a newly relevant or emergent 'global
player'. Power and empowerment have been conceptualized in a way
that discursively inhibits any form of escape from the temporal and
spatial confines of a world order marked by geopolitical and
geoeconomic competition. The book can be seen as an initial step
towards an exploration of alternative forms of thinking, doing, and
being, temporally and spatially, that are not limited to the
competition among states for geopolitical status in the
international system. This work will be of great interest to
students and scholars of critical international relations,
international politics and Latin American studies.
