In popular imagery, the littorals of Sulu and Zamboanga conjure visions of pirates, terrorists, and bandits marauding its rough seas, open shores, and rugged mountains. These bleak accounts render the region nothing but a violent and peripheral southern Philippine backdoor inconspicuous to the sophisticated constituencies of the world’s metropolitan centres. Obscured from these imageries are the lasting cosmopolitan traits of openness, flexibility, and reception of local folk to trans-local cultural streams that marked Sulu and Zamboanga as a globalised space across the ages and oceans. The distinctive features of these cosmopolitan sensibilities are strikingly discernible in inter-generationally shared narratives, artefacts, and performances that were continually renewed from the days when Sulu and Zamboanga served as a borderless trading and cultural enclave nestled at the crossroads of the Pacific and the Indian Oceans. These enduring cosmopolitan sensibilities are embodied in the blending, among others, of the time-honoured dance of pangalay and the pop-musical dance genre celebrated on actual, analogue, and digitally-mediated spaces of the contemporary world. Furthermore, these embodied sensibilities are evident in song compositions that proclaim the humanistic themes of hope, peace, and prosperity to their place and the world in ways that exemplify the local people’s broader sense of connections beyond the narrow association of family, community, ethnicity, religion, and identity. This mixed bag of age-old and recent imaginaries and cultural traffic evoke a sociality that link the social spaces of the troubled but once and current globalised region to continuing acts of transcendence in history, memory, and visions of the future. In these marginalized places, we can see an unyielding tradition of cultural re-adaptation and creativity made up of myriad everyday acts that are down-to-earth, pragmatic, interstitial, and practical cosmopolitanism.

This article explores how international references in parliaments build a synchronized world polity, even in countries that are often portrayed as being at odds with the rest of the world. The article asks whether and how Russian parliamentarians refer to the international community, and how such references compare with parliamentary debates in other countries. The “mesophenomenological” argument developed here connects World Society Theory, which demonstrates global isomorphism, with national studies of Russia, which argue for important national particularities. The empirical analysis draws on a stratified random sample of debates on draft laws in the Russian Duma from 1994 to 2013, comparable to similar samples from six other countries. The results show that: (1) Russian parliamentarians refer to the international community in the same level and the same forms as in other countries; (2) Russian policy-makers rely on the same imageries of the social world to convince their audiences as do other parliamentarians; and (3) this similarity in form remains consistent throughout the period, despite radical changes in national politics. These findings attest to the Russian Duma as a site of world culture, and to the mesophenomenological view that the world polity is highly synchronized through discourses of cross-national comparisons.

The subject of this essay is Andrzej Waśkiewicz’s book Ludzie – rzeczy – ludzie. O porządkach społecznych, gdzie rzeczy łączą, nie dzielą (People–Things–People: On Social Orders Where Things Connect Rather Than Divide People). The book is the work of a historian of ideas and concerns contemporary searches for alternatives to capitalism: the review presents the book’s overview of visions of society in which the market, property, inequality, or profit do not play significant roles. Such visions reach back to Western utopian social and political thought, from Plato to the nineteenth century. In comparing these ideas with contemporary visions of the world of post-capitalism, the author of the book proposes a general typology of such images. Ultimately, in reference to Simmel, he takes a critical stance toward the proposals, recognizing the exchange of goods to be a fundamental and indispensable element of social life. The author of the review raises two issues that came to mind while reading the book. First, the juxtaposition of texts of a very different nature within the uniform category of “utopia” causes us to question the role and status of reflections regarding the future and of speculative theory in contemporary social thought; second, such a juxtaposition suggests that reflecting on the social “optimal good” requires a much more precise and complex conception of a “thing,” for instance, as is proposed by new materialism or anthropological studies of objects and value as such.

A menudo, el nacimiento acompaña a la muerte, perturbando el ciclo de las generaciones y el orden social. La fragilidad biológica de los recién nacidos encuentra un eco en los ritos de presentación que durante mucho tiempo coincidieron con el final de ese período “de riesgo”. Los niños que fallecían en ese período intermedio tenían derecho a recibir tratamientos funerarios particulares, heredados de una representación arcaica de la muerte. En la Europa medieval y moderna, el destino de las almas infantiles siempre fue una preocupación para los padres y para toda la sociedad. A lo largo de los siglos, se redujo el plazo entre el nacimiento y el bautismo, hasta el punto de coincidir con el día del nacimiento, con el fin de asegurar la salvación espiritual de todos los recién nacidos. Para los que fallecían antes del bautismo, se pusieron en práctica algunas soluciones originales para evitar que sus almas vagasen eternamente en el Limbo y para darles una sepultura decente.Abstract: Often, birth alternates with death, disrupting the cycle of generations and social order. Family and social behavior to welcome the newborns spread out their biological frailty. For a long time, rites surrounding the social introduction of the newborn took place at the end of this “risk” period. Infants who died during this marginal period received particular funeral rites, heritage of an archaic representation of death. In Medieval and Modern Europe, parents and whole society were concerned with the future of children’s souls. By taking place as close at birth as possible, the Christian baptism allowed protecting child’s salvation, which was considered more important than his own survival. For those who died before this sacrament, original solutions were put in place to keep their souls from eternally wandering in limbo and to give them a decent burial.Résumé : Souvent la naissance voisine avec la mort, perturbant le cycle des générations et l’ordre social. La fragilité biologique des nouveau-nés trouve un écho dans les rites de présentation qui ont coïncidé longtemps avec la fin de la période “à risque”. Les enfants qui décédaient dans cette période de marge avaient droit à des traitements funéraires particuliers, hérités d’une représentation archaïque de la mort. Dans l’Europe médiévale et moderne, le devenir des âmes enfantines a toujours été une préoccupation pour les parents et pour la société tout entière. Au fil des siècles, le délai entre la naissance et le baptême s’est réduit, au point de coïncider le même jour, afin d’assurer le salut spirituel de tous les nouveau-nés. Pour ceux qui décédaient avant le baptême, des solutions originales ont été mises en oeuvre pour éviter que leurs âmes errent éternellement dans les limbes et pour leur donner une sépulture décente.

Through case studies of incidents around the world where the social media platforms have been used and abused for ulterior purposes, Chapter 6 highlights the lessons that can be learned. For good or for ill, the author elaborates on the way social media has been used as an arbiter to inflict various forms of political influence and how we may have become desensitized due to the popularity of the social media platforms themselves. A searching view is provided that there is now a propensity by foreign states to use social media to influence the user base of sovereign countries during key political events. This type of activity now justifies a paradigm shift in relation to our perception and utilization of computerized devices for the future.
