The Necropolitics of a Secular International Order
The secular sovereign architects of the post-World War II International Order are necropolitical. By envisioning modernity as a telos directed by the authority of secular sovereigns, the global order enacts a necro-logic—the imperative to divide ‘pre-modern/uncivil’ from ‘modern/civil’ societies, legitimizing the death of the former to preserve the life of the latter. Within this realist episteme, the post-World War II order necessitates excludin…
A critique of Frantz Fanon’s abandonment neurosis and secular-humanist ideology
Frantz Fanon’s atheistic analytical framework is accented by epistemic violence as it adheres to a secular gaze reifying Reason over Revelation. Fanon’s ambivalence toward religion remains largely uninterrogated, as scholars reference his work either as a “Gospel” for “liberation” or an “objective” historical lens on Algeria’s anti-colonial struggle. The manuscript examines Fanon’s worldview being theoretically linked to the ontology of three “Fa…
Chinese Cinephiles in the Post-Pandemic Pandemic Era
The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped film consumption patterns in China, driving a notable transition from traditional theatres to over-the-top (OTT) platforms. This study investigates the factors influencing post-pandemic cinephile preferences, particularly the interplay between OTT platforms and traditional cinema-going platforms. The surge in online streaming, boosted by pandemic-induced restrictions, has been critical with regional giants such …
The evolution of research on digital communication and social protests
The rise of digital communication technologies has significantly changed how people participate in social protests. Digital platforms—such as social media—have enabled individuals to organize and mobilize protests on a global scale. As a result, there has been a growing interest in understanding the role of digital communication in social protests. This manuscript provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the evolution of research on digi…
Three decades of glocalization research
Glocalization, adapting global practices to local contexts, has become increasingly important in scientific research. However, the impact of global and local collaboration networks on glocalization remains underexplored. In this study, we conduct a bibliometric analysis to examine publications in the field of glocalization recorded in the Scopus database from 1993–2023. Using data from 12,046 publications, we identify key themes, publication tren…
Nato’s Anglo-American identity and the Ukrainian crisis from an ontological security perspective – can a realist international system give diplomacy a chance
International military organizations derive their identity from the objectives they are set to perform thus acquiring ontological security. Organizations like NATO—adhering to a realist approach to International Relations (IR) and Security Studies (SS) – have historically reconfigured their identity depending on the ontological threat du jour by prioritizing Anglo-American interest at the expense of Russian and Franco-German socio-economic securi…
A Postmodern (Singularity) Future with a Post-Human Godless Algorithm
The objective of this manuscript is to reveal that the challenge in understanding the ethical consequences of a post-human condition characterizing trans-humanist ontology is linked to postmodern epistemology lacking any metaphysical and theological essence. The introductory section provides an overview of trans-humanist thought and the concerns deliberated against it at the recent conference titled A.I Ethics: An Abrahamic Commitment to the Rome…

The Lack of Philosophical Knowledge in Che Guevara’s Pedagogy
Most research on Ernesto “Che” Guevara has been concerned with emphasizing his ideological Marxist commitments and anti-imperial material objectives. These scholarly concerns usually constellate recycled subjective themes highlighting the revolutionary leader hating injustice, and loving justice, in tandem with the objective of eliminating imperialism and advancing a Third World project. In 2012, Che’s Apuntes filósoficos (Eng. Philosophical Note…
International Law, Necropolitics, and Arab Lives
De-Historicizing (Mainstream) Ottoman Historiography on Tanzimat and Tahdith
The (secular-humanist) philosophical theology governing (positivist) disciplines such as International Law and International Relations precludes a priori any communicative examination of how the exclusion of Arab-Ottoman jurisprudence is necessary for the ontological coherence of jurisprudent concepts such as society and sovereignty, together with teleological narratives constellating the “Age of Reason” such as modernity and civilization. The ex…
