Globalisation is often depicted as steadily increasing integration. Yet such linear accounts overlook the interruptions, exclusions, and asymmetries that shape global processes in practice.
global dis:connect treats integration, disconnection, and disintegration as co-constitutive. Migration, markets, and information circulation are uneven and contingent, structured by social, cultural, and linguistic conditions. Rather than negating integration, disconnections are intrinsic to globalisation itself.
The concept of dis:connection directs attention to the interstices where connections are delayed, diverted, or absent, and to the social significance arising from these dynamics. By focusing on reciprocal interactions instead of binary oppositions, dis:connectivity offers an analytical framework for understanding globalisation in its full complexity.
