Globalism, Nationalism, Tribalism: Bringing Theory Back In (2006)

Abstract

Globalism, Nationalism, Tribalism establishes a new basis for understanding the changing nature of polity and community and offers unprecedented attention to these dominant trends. The book charts the contradictions and tensions we all encounter in an era of increasing globalization, from genocide and terrorism to television and finance capital. Globalism is treated as an uneven and layered process of spatial expansion, not simply one of disorder, fragmentation or rupture. Nor is it simply a force of homogenization. Nationalism is taken seriously as a continuing and important formation of contemporary identity and politics. The book rewrites the modernism theories of the nation-state without devolving into the postmodernist assertion that all is invention or surface gloss. Tribalism is given the attention it has long warranted and is analyzed as a continuing and changing formation of social life, from the villages of Rwanda to the cities of the West. Theoretically adept and powerfully argued, this is the first comprehensive analysis that brings these crucial themes of contemporary life together.

The continuing tension here with McDonald's still seen to be a pre-eminently global corporation is exemplified by the violent targeting of one of their outlets in Davos at the 2000 World Economic Forum. Going back further, in 1985, London Greenpeace organized an International Day of Action against McDonald's. Leaflets were distributed, which over the next few years became the basis for a libel trial that was to take two-and-a-half years, concluding in June 1997. The action taken against two com- munity activists in London became known as the McLibel Trial. This theme is discussed below in Chapter 11. 5 The Cambodia Daily, 13 July 1994.

While I am sympathetic to his notion of a 'groundless ground', the approach taken here however differs considerably from that taken by Lash. It neither searches for a second grounded modernity nor affirms the 'neo-world of technological culture' (p. 14).

In the light of his own definition we clearly can find such a society. Why did he not just say that the status of the claim to define social space as a lived society is always a contingent and relative one? Societies are always cross-cut by other societies and social formations. By this definition we can also find his dreaded 'dimensions' or 'levels'. Just like 'sources of power' (his terms of abstraction) they can be useful analytical abstractions. 13 Ibid., p. 2. (his emphasis).

By contrast, I will argue later (Chapter 5) that, in the spirit of Godelier's concern not to reduce 'the mental' to 'the material', kinship is central to the organization form of tribal society, and in this capacity bears back on the other modes of practice, including the organization of relations of production. That is not to say, however (pace Godelier), that kinship is the basis of the mode of production. 22 Derek Robbins, The Work of Pierre Bourdieu, Open University Press, Milton Keynes, 1991, pp. 82-4.

  39. Lukács, cited in Bourdieu, Outline of a Theory of Practice, p. 171, cited in Appadurai, 'Commodities and the Politics of Value', p. 12. Georg Lukács is, incidentally, taken radically out of context. Appadurai in turn takes Bourdieu's critique of the subjective out of context, forgetting Bourdieu's double-sided critique of the subjective-objective abstraction. In the next passage on from that cited, Bourdieu writes: 'In reducing the econ- omy to its objective reality, economism annihilates the specificity located precisely in the socially maintained discrepancy between the misrecognized or, one might say, socially repressed, objective truth of economic activ- ity, and the social representation of production and exchange' (p. 172). This critique might equally apply to Appadurai's culturalism.The trouble, however, with Bourdieu's return critique that he is not writing about 'objec- tive truth' at all -and certainly not about the structures of exchange. He writes about his own subjectivist ver- sion of a 'truth' that runs through modern Western thought, perhaps beginning with John Locke and Adam Smith: the ideology that reciprocity and interest are equally the two sides of every economic exchange. 30

  41. Oxford University Press, London, 1922) writes about many valuables -the rings of kings, the breastplates of high priests, amulets of gold, talismans of silver, and magical jewels galore, from those set with diamonds to those of beaver's teeth -but with ne'er a mention of crowns. The medieval Christian condemnation of engraved talismans that thus limited European crown-making to secular crafting is perhaps part of the explanation. 45 Taylor (The Glory of Regality, p. 63) certainly thought it to be real, commenting on its 'exquisite beauty'. 46 The crown as synecdoche for the institution of monarchy continues on today, but more as dead metaphor than as an attribution of power to the object of the crown itself. Perhaps a partial counter to this proposition can be found in the spirtualist side of neo-medievalism, fringe revivalist groups who attempt to relive their sense of the past.This sensibility is evidenced in magic-historical or science-fiction literature such as Raymond E. Feist, Shards of a Broken Crown, BCA HarperCollins, London, 1998. 47 'Crowns and Diamonds: The Making of the Crown Jewels', exhibition from 'The Royal Collection © Her Majesty the Queen'. It is indicative that She has to resort to ©, the globalized symbol of intellectual property protection. Going back much further, it should be remembered that in 1761 George III sold seats in the nave galleries for his coronation. James I sold knighthoods and rights to monopolize trade.

Thomas Crump's discussion of the 'pure-money complex' (The Phenomenon of Money, Routledge & Kegan Paul, London, 1981, Chapter 12), that is, of transactions performed 'purely in terms of time and money', goes too far to suggest that such complexes characterize all societies, but it is instructive.

Indicatively Karl Marx (Capital: Vol. 1, Progress Publishers, Moscow [1887], 1977, p. 129), writes 'Only insofar as paper money represents gold, which like all other commodities has value, is it a symbol of value'. 26 Lewis Mandel (The Credit Card Industry, Twayne Publishers, Boston, 1990) shows for example how the credit card developed over the period from local bankcard experiments in the 1940s, but the shift really took off with the systematization of computerized codification.

  117. The use of qualifiers such as tribal, traditional and modern continues to be done here as ontologically defining rather than just as loose adjectives. This is more than a matter of definitional consistency. When Feliks Gross (The Civic and Tribal State: The State, Ethnicity and the Multiethnic State, Greenwood Press, Westport, CT, 1998) uses the term 'tribal state' to apply to states such as Nazi Germany espousing racist ideologies, he confuses ideology with social form and uses the term 'tribal' as politically pejorative. Thus, when we get to his chapter on 'African Tribal Traditional States' he has to distinguish them as tribal-traditional even when they are dominated by modernism, and to acknowledge that they were not always characterized by racism. 2 For an account of different rationalities of the state in ancient Greece, Renaissance Italy and Absolutist Europe, see Christian Reus-Smit, The Moral Purpose of the State: Culture, Social Identity, and Institutional Rationality in International Relations, Princeton University Press, Princeton, 1999, Chapter 3.

  123. 9 Most of the well-known neo-Marxists bent over backwards not to over-generalize their claims and not reify the state, not to treat the state structures as things. For example, going back to Nicos Poulantzas, he writes: 'it is precisely one of the merits of Marxism that ... it thrust aside the grand metaphysical flights of so-called polit- ical philosophy -the vague and nebulous theorizings of an extreme generality and abstractness that claim to lay bare the great secrets of History, the Political, the State, and Power' (State, Power, Socialism,Verso, London, 1980, p. 20). However, as later Marxists pointed out, Poulantzas somehow thought he could do this in the abstract, hardly referring to actually existing states to illustrate his general arguments.

  133. See Chapter 4 above, in the section entitled 'Reciprocity as the Dominant Mode of Exchange'. If this right, it explains why mythologies of kings bearing gifts, such as to Bethlehem, take on a double ambiguity, and in this case a spectacular condensation of meaning. 23 On the election of the king, see Arthur Taylor, The Glory of Regality: An Historical Treatise on the Anointing and Crowning of the Kings and Queens of England,Taylor, London, 1820, book 1. On the simultaneously sacred and secular foundations of kingship, see Reinhard Bendix, Kings or People: Power and the Mandate to Rule, University of California Press, Berkeley, CA, 1978, Chapter 2. This classical book, although written with different themes of focus to the present study, provides an overview of field of kingship with its empirical descriptions and careful generalizations providing an excellent counterpoint to my tendency to overgeneralize.

Bouman, Sacring and Crowning: The Development of the Latin Ritual for Anointing Kings and the Coronation of an Emperor before the Eleventh Century, J.B. Wolters, Gröningen, 1957, p. ix. The assertions of that statement did not, of course, mean that the sacredness of the monarch was unambiguously unassailable, but such statements nevertheless did continue well into the twentieth century. See, for example, Jocelyn Perkins (The Crowning of the Sovereign of Great Britain and the Dominions Overseas, Methuen, London, 1937, p. 15) where in describing the crowning of Edward VII in 1902, she says, 'the tie uniting King Edward VII to the hearts of his subjects was something more enduring, more sacred than had ever existed before'. However, keep in mind that at the time of writing she was the Sacrist of Westminster Abbey.

  138. 'Post-tribal history' in this instance is understood as particular histories rather than as a generic con- cept. It refers to the history of those particular societies that are no longer formed in the dominance of tribal- ism. Thus, for example, in parallel with the argument made earlier in relation to kings, states develop in tribal-traditional societies that develop some form of abstracting technique for recording and codifying mem- ories such as listing or writing.Thus the mode of organization of the state depends upon a more abstract mode of communication than orality.

Compare the biblical creation story of Adam and Eve and the Freudian creation story of the totem and taboo: the first is sacred traditional Truth, the second is metaphorical modern 'truth' with a hint of pre-anthropological myth-making.

'England' might be one counter-example, but prior to the nineteenth century I would still call it a tradi- tional nation (genealogically extended but bound by class-based delimitations) rather than a modern nation. 9 This is the thesis put forward by Tom Nairn in The Break-Up of Britain: Crisis and Neo-Nationalism, Verso, London (1973), 2nd edn, 1981.

  164. The RPF, which again reversed the power hierarchy and returned the Tutsi to government in the wake of the 1994 genocide, had been formed in 1987 in Uganda. The unevenness of the process and how it spread beyond the borders of one nation-state is indicated by the fact that the RPF leader, Paul Kagame, had up until the early 1980s considered himself Ugandan.To carry the story forward: in August 1998,Tutsi-led rebels backed by Rwanda, claimed control of two-thirds of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Angolan, Namibian and Zimbabwean troops sent in to support President Kabila. The European nations, including former colonial power Belgium, organized a foreign evacuation. In Rwanda, there are still rumoured to be Hutu rebel movements in the jungle.

  176. Watson, 'Birth of a Post-Modern Nation'. 48 The Australian, 4 November 1993. 49 It almost goes without saying given the previous chapter that 'it' is shorthand for the patterns of prac- tices and discourses of the many persons (intellectually-trained agents) who work in the many apparatuses which we call the 'state'. Using the shorthand references is not necessarily to imply that 'the state' operates as a single homogenous entity, nor to reify 'it' as a hypostatized object acting organically or anthropomorphically.
  177. As I argued in Chapter 9, contrary to some of the more pedantic postmodernists, such designations as 'state' and 'society' continue to be useful.

Despite the title of his book, he devotes a grand total of two paragraphs to what he calls 'negative reciprocity', that is, 'attempts to maximize utility at the expense of others' (ibid., p. 128). There were of course exceptions. See for example, Samir Amin, Maldevelopment: Anatomy of a Global Failure, Zed Books, London, 1990.
  195. Reading Aijaz Ahmad's essay, 'Three Worlds Theory', is instructive on the contradictory political layers of meaning in the term 'the Third World' -from In Theory: Classes, Nations, Literatures, Verso, London, 1992 -but I use it here nevertheless as a collective noun naming the very diverse regions and nation-states that were his- torically not included in the industrial capitalist and industrial (post)communist 'worlds'. Its use here presumes no homogeneity, no hierarchy of centrality, and no sense of a continuing political bloc. 36 During the 1990s, when Benetton had 6,500 shops in 100 countries, a turnover of $US2.3 billion, and an advertising budget of $US80 million, it used images of South American toddlers working as slave labourers in a brick yard to promote Luciano Benetton's concept 'of a world without borders'. The aid agency World Vision continues to advertise its project by using images of poverty-stricken Third World children asking Westerners to sponsor individual cases. 37 The title of Chapter 4 in P.T.

It is used here because, it highlights historical tensions of meaning that are relevant to globalization: in this instance between the evil genie of the darker Arabian tales and the rock-and-roll cowboy-style genie of Hollywood's Aladdin. 55 The Economist, 29 September 2001.
  208. 7 This point qualifies the argument of Anatol Lieven, America Right or Wrong: An Anatomy of American Nationalism, HarperCollins, London, 2004. I acknowledge his point about the two nationalisms -the 'American creed' of extending civic democratic virtue and the 'American antithesis' of bellicose chauvinism -but also I want to suggest that these ideologies are cross-cut by subjectivities of globalism.

The term is in fact not very satisfactory but it points to processes of the abstraction of space, part of the more general trend towards the abstraction of categories of social being including space, time and embodiment. This does not mean that the nation-state is about to disappear: it means that its 'classical' modern variant is under challenge. 15

  217. Bruce Robbins ('Actually Existing Cosmopolitanism', in Pheng Cheah and Bruce Robbins, eds, Cosmopolitics: Thinking and Feeling Beyond the Nation, University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis, 1998, p. 3) represents a critical cosmopolitanism that largely avoids the valorization of mobility and detachment endemic in postmodern cosmopolitanisms, but in criticizing its critics he occasionally falls off the balancing beam. Pheng Cheah's introductory chapter 'The Cosmopolitical -Today' in the same volume turns the critique back on the postnationalists, convincingly arguing that cosmopolitanism need not be postnational. 19 Appadurai, Modernity at Large, p. 159.

  223. Ibid. 28 And even then as Robbins writes in another essay in Cosmopolitics ('Comparative Cosmopolitanism', p. 253), 'Hidden away in the miniaturizing precision of "locality" with its associations of presence and unique- ness, empirical concreteness, complex experience, and accessible subjectivity, has been the nostalgia for a col- lective subject-in-action that is no longer so easy to localize.' It should be said that in many ways I like the approach taken by Robbins. In pointing to the (minor) slips and slides in his position I am more concerned about them as indicative of more general problems beyond the text than on the philosophical complexities of 'place', see Edward S. Casey, The Fate of Place: A Philosophical History, University of California Press, Berkeley, CA, 1998. On the levels of theoretical abstraction from which one can examine a particular local place, see Elspeth Probyn, 'Travels in the Postmodern: Making Sense of the Local', in Linda J.

  228. Appiah's argument for 'rooted cosmpolitanism' is based on the defence of the liberal freedom to have elective affinities. It is, in his words, a 'distinctively American tradition'. He writes: 'Those of us who are American not by birth but by election, … love this country precisely for that freedom of self-invention' (Kwame Anthony Appiah, 'Cosmopolitan Patriots', in Pheng Cheah and Bruce Robbins (eds), Cosmopolitics: Thinking and Feeling Beyond the Nation, University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis, 1998, p. 106.)
  229. For Rorty's postmodern patriotism, a kind of postnationalism that at once allows him to romanticize and be utterly critical of the politics of his nation state, America, see his Achieving Our Country, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA, 1998. As Michael Billig notes: 'Rorty directly associates himself with Dewey's vision of America: "I see America pretty much as Whitman and Dewey did, as opening up a prospect of illimitable demo- cratic vistas"' (Banal Nationalism, Sage Publications, London, 1995, p. 170). Billig continues: 'In such writings it is possible to identify a tone suited to the new Pax Americana. The philosophy distances itself from the rhetoric of the Cold War is … [At the same time, the] American way -the way of non-ideological pragmatism - is recommended for all' (p. 172). I'm afraid, for all Rorty's ironical distance from that thing called 'America', I agree with Billig.

Rocky IV, 1985, a United Artists film, written and directed by Sylvester Stallone. 40 Criticism is reserved for those unethical individuals perverting the system who fail to live up to the abstract ideals of life, liberty and the American way. Usually these individuals and their cronies are exposed by the Harrison Ford or Denzel Washington hero. 41 The term 'postnational nation' may sound oxymoronic, but it is explicable in terms of a levels argument that treats modernism (which frames the experience of bounded national community) and postmodernism (which frames the experience of heterogeneous multicultural society) as contradictory formations overlaying each other and coexisting in the same world-time. 42 The term 'global nation' comes from John Wiseman's book of the same name: Global Nation? Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1998.
  236. Bhabha, Location of Culture, p. 172. 44 The editors of Arena Journal including Geoff Sharp, John Hinkson and Simon Cooper work with a frame- work of understanding, the constitutive abstraction approach, which puts the emphasis on the lived process of intersecting levels of abstraction. As one way of giving this approach more specificity I have attempted here to distinguish different levels of epistemological abstraction (from empirical generalization through integrational analysis to categorical analysis) and different levels of ontological abstraction (from the face-to-face to the dis- embodied). It is not necessarily a way of working though the constitutive abstraction approach with which all the editors are comfortable. What I am attempting to do here is connected to my previous work, with the levels of ethical abstraction cross-cutting with levels of epistemological and ontological abstraction. See Table 4.5 above. 45 Ontological socialism is defined as a form of social inter-relations that negotiates its practical expres- sions -cultural, political and economic -across the full range of what it has historically meant to be human from the level of procedural rights to the much more basic questions of co-existence as mortal embodied beings born of both nature and culture. See Chapter 4.

The irony here is that under the rubric of the 'ideology of autonomy', market relations in fact set up unacknowledged struc- tures of authority (power) which limit the de facto freedoms of people in ways that close-knit communities could not sustain. 56 Within the Arena circle of writers, it is Nonie Sharp who has done most to elaborate the concept of reciprocity -mostly in relation to tribal society.
