Worlding the global

• Connery, Christopher

In emphasizing the continuities and connections between 1960s struggles around the world, the article attempts to counter those narratives that would stress the national character of the struggles, and to provide, in an account of the worldwide character of liberatory movements, an alternative globalism, one that exists as a resource to contemporary movements in opposition to "globalization.” It argues that an engagement with 60s politics of time can provide an alternative to the various narratives of failure or "cunning of history" that have consigned the 60s to a historical anomaly or excess. It also argues that taking seriously the 60s rebellions as forms of world Cultural Revolution allows for the maintenance of a utopian impulse without nostalgia, as an available resource in mobilizing the politics of the imagination. The article includes discussions of Maoism, temporality, the global character of the Vietnam War, the politics of anti-work, and the U.S. counterculture.
