ABSTRACT
I will now use the maps laid out by Foucault and Butler in order to journey through globalization seeking out the body that current society needs. In order to make this journey, I need directions and guidelines on where to look so as to find and see these concrete corporeal expressions of globalization. When looking for the embodied subjectivity it is not evident which way to go, especially if one is schooled in the mainstream international relations tradition in which given maps guide toward looking at globalization in terms of the interactions of nation-states, international institutions and regimes, multinational corporations and other financial institutions
In the country of IR, globalization is coherent and neat. It is represented as a masculine coherent body which distinguishes itself from the feminine, the fluid, the discreet or the abject. Gendered subjectivity is unresearchable in these depictions of globalization that draws globalization of the powerful, that guides toward the city centers and the capitals of the world, whether financial or political, and that points toward other landmarks of the elite..
