‘Globe Talk’ explores the rhetorical power of globality, by historicizing the globe as artefact and emblem of sovereignty, as navigational tool of empire and as discourse. The concept of the earth as a single space – which the NASA Apollo photographs have made ubiquitous – is a compelling icon for both environmentalists and global corporations but tends to occlude the unevenness of capitalist modernity and the political inequalities underlying ‘the war on global warming’ and ‘the global war on terror’.
