Moral Mappings of South and North

The term 'Global South' marks a new attempt at providing order and meaning in the current global political constellation, replacing the term 'Third World'.

It casts a wide exploratory net, addressing historical transformations of world-interpretation and wider cultural-intellectual meanings.
