ABSTRACT
Does the Global South still exist, had it ever existed? These are questions we can deliberate forever. This chapter uses the notion of the “South” as a tool for re-description. Where the hyphen between re- and describe points to both a resistance to description—its making of narratives, orders, and connections between things—but at the same time performs this resistance through an incessant turning over of concepts and places, of constantly switching things around. Here the “South” is more important as a “wild card,” a “joker” than being pinned down to specific values or meanings.
