Jack London’s maritime writing often interrogates the difference between the savage space of the “outside” sea and the relative domesticity of land’s civilized interior, as well as the ways in which this spatial distinction supports the sovereignty of space, society, and the self. But instead of maintaining these spatial differences, London’s work is all about exposing their increasing indistinction in the early twentieth century and the effects such a spatial destabilization had on sovereignty itself. This interrogation of the new world order and its effects on previous forms of sovereignty, the chapter argues, is what makes London’s contribution to American maritime writing (especially The Sea-Wolf and The Cruise of the Snark) so important. London’s sea stories not only acknowledge the world’s new “nomos” but the effects this order has on political and personal forms of autonomy and coherence.

AbstractThis paper traces a set of interlinked Asianist networks through the activities of Mahendra Pratap, an Indian revolutionary exile who spent the majority of his life at various key anti-imperialist sites in Asia. Pratap envisioned a unified Asia free from colonial powers, but should be regarded as an anti-imperialist first and a nationalist second—he was convinced that India's independence would materialize naturally as a by-product of a federated Asia. Through forging strategic alliances in places as diverse as Moscow, Kabul, and Tokyo, he sought to achieve his goal of a united ‘Pan-Asia’. In his view, Pan-Asia would be the first step towards a world federation, in which all the continents would become provinces in a new world order. His thought was an intricate patchwork of internationalist ideas circulating in the opening decades of the twentieth century, and his travels and political activities are viewed in this context. Pratap's exploration of the relationship between the local, the regional, and the global, from an Asian perspective, was one of many ways in which Asian elites and non-elites challenged the legitimacy of the political order in the interwar years.

Beginning by reading a 1992 feminist appropriation of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam – in a cartoon in which the finger of a nude Adamic woman touches a computer keyboard, while the god-like VDT screen shows a disembodied fetus – ‘Virtual Speculum’ argues for a broader conception of ‘new reproductive technologies’ in order to foreground justice and freedom projects for differently situated women in the New World Order. Broadly conceptualized reproductive practices must be central to social theory in general, and to technoscience studies in particular. Tying together the politics of self help and women's health movements in the United States in the 1970s with positions on reproductive freedom articulated within the Legal Defense and Educational Fund of the NAACP in the 1990s, the paper examines recent work in feminist science studies in several disciplinary and activist locations. Statistical analysis and ethnography emerge as critical feminist technologies for producing convincing representations of the reproduction of inequality. Untangling the semiotic and political–economic dialectics of invisibility and hypervisibility, ‘Virtual Speculum’ concludes by linking the well-surveyed amniotic fluid of on-screen fetuses and the off-frame diarrhea of uncounted and underfed infants in regimes of flexible accumulation and structural adjustment.

A Geografia enquanto componente curricular contribui para a formação de indivíduos capazes de analisar criticamente o espaço. Propostas alternativas no ensino de Geografia, em contrapartida à tradicional forma mnemônica e descritiva de ensino, destacam-se nas aulas, a citar: músicas, aulas de campo, recursos visuais, etc. Entre os recursos didáticos pautados na linguagem visual destacam-se as Histórias em Quadrinhos (HQ) como forma de expressão de realidades, podendo ser consideradas pontos de partida para a leitura do espaço geográfico. Objetiva-se explorar as HQ enquanto encaminhamento metodológico auxiliar nas aulas de Geografia em conteúdos ligados ao século XX, a citar: período pós-guerra, Guerra fria, Guerra do Vietnã e nova ordem mundial. As atividades ocorreram na disciplina “Prática de docência em ensino de Geografia no ensino médio”, componente curricular do curso de licenciatura em Geografia da Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR). A aplicação foi na turma do 2º ano do Ensino Médio Integrado ao Curso Técnico de Petróleo e Gás, do Setor de Educação Profissional (SEPT) da UFPR, em Curitiba - Paraná. Concluiu-se que as HQ contribuem no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, pois facilitam o processo cognitivo e auxiliam análises geográficas autônomas. Palavras-chave: Ensino; Geopolítica; Pós-guerras; Nova ordem mundial; Guerra fria.   COMIC BOOKS IN GEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY: proposal of methodological in high school Abstract Geography as a curricular component contributes to the formation of individuals capable of analyzing space critically. Alternative proposals in the teaching of Geography, in contrast to the traditional mnemonic and descriptive form of teaching, stand out in the classes, to mention: songs, field lessons, visual resources, etc. Among the didactic resources based on the visual language is Comics (HQ) as a way of expressing realities, and can be considered starting points for the reading of the geographic space. The objective is to explore the comics as an auxiliary methodological guide in Geography classes in contents related to the twentieth century, to mention: the post-war period, the Cold War, the Vietnam War and the new world order. The activities took place in the discipline "Teaching practice in geography teaching in high school", curricular component of the licentiate course in Geography of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). The application was in the group of the 2nd year of High School Integrated to the Technical Course of Oil and Gas, of the Sector of Professional Education (SEPT) of UFPR, in Curitiba - Paraná. It was concluded that the HQ contribute to the teaching and learning process, since they facilitate the cognitive process and help autonomous geographic analysis. Keywords: Teaching; Geopolitics; Postwar Wars; New world order; Cold War.   CÓMICS EN EL ANÁLISIS GEOGRÁFICO DEL SIGLO XX: propuesta de encaminación metodológica en la enseñanza medio Resumen La Geografía como componente curricular contribuye a la formación de individuos capaces de analizar críticamente el espacio.

ONE OF THE MOST NOTICED FEATURES OF OUR TIME IS that global problems are increasing at a faster rate than the evolution of the political capacities to manage them. This is not a new observation, or even a new condition. It has long been part of a pessimistic assessment of the prospects for modern industrial technological civilization that can be traced back to its origins, but has been particularly strong throughout the twentieth century. H. G. Wells's famous comment that ‘human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe’ is even more apposite to the contemporary mood than it was when first written. The spectre of communism no longer haunts Europe, but other spectres now haunt the global civilization which developed out of Europe. Some of the key trends of this global civilization threaten at best an era of mounting disorder and chaos in the world system, at worst the survival of the human species itself. The problems are increasing far faster than the ability to find solutions for them.
