America
Article Abstract:
Hegemonic world order is prone to guard its privileged epistemic and onto-theological status with fanatical zeal, and America as self-reifying centrality has militated for its indisputable ontological status since its inception as Puritan theocracy. America, in its self-perceived and oft-declared exceptionalism, would persist as incomparable monad that does not allow for diagnostic scrutiny or prognostic speculation outside its own self-engendered criteria.

East and west in global history
Article Abstract:
Eurocentrism assumes that the Europeans single-handedly made their own developmental history, and subsequently that of the world. However, this Eurocentric view obscures the considerable role that Eastern agents played both in progressive global history and in the rise of Europe, which in turn implies a promiscuous and globally interdependent relationship between East and West.

Mobility and the city
Article Abstract:
The city is often represented as an economic node or hub, the locus of imagined communities, and a source of identity and security. However, translocal, and often transnational, mobilities are disrupting the sense of the city as centrality, as stasis, or as a permanence, making cities as much spaces of flows as they are spaces of place.
