global web


Perhaps the global web would be better described as a “planetary web”, or “entangled worldmaking,” or “earthly cohabitations.” In a narrower sense, the network also refers to that into which the iQt is woven. What this section addresses are projects that take their starting point in the (versatile) South-East-North/West framework and reflect on its violent histories of imperialism, colonialism, racialized capitalism, and ongoing coloniality in relation to gender and sexuality. In this context, queerness, transition, and migration are processes that challenge simplified categorizations and oppositions, such as North and South, hetero and homo, cis and trans, capitalist and socialist. It seems more interesting how and to what extent hybrid and multicultural origins and affiliations blur the exclusionary and normative boundaries between South-East-North-West. What does it mean, instead, to survive or thrive in borderlands; in the South within the North, which functions differently than the North within the South; in non-binary genders, with marginalized forms of desire, in multilingualism rather than monolingualism?
