Virtualities

Article Abstract:

Virtualities can be described as not just ideas but things that have a real existence, a code, habitus or class that exists even if one cannot treat it as a tangible object, such as gender, which is not a tangible thing or materiality, nor simply 'sex', but rather a performative identity, a theoretical object with predictive power, independent of the age or form of the body itself. A discussion on the ontological categories of the Virtual and the Real, based on Marcel Proust's writings, is presented.

The Asia-Pacific region and the new world order

Article Abstract:

The Asia-Pacific states are in the process of reacting to Western visions of a new world order resulting in new regional tensions while post-Cold War Asia-Pacific regional arrangements are internally conflictual and relatively weak. It is observed that with the current global security configuration and the spread of nuclear weapons, Western states need to recognize Asia-Pacific regional interests and effectively accommodate these in new regional and global economic and security structures.
