DESCRIPTION:The Research Group on Global Justice\n	of the Yan P. Lin Centre 
 for the Study of Freedom and Global Orders in the Ancient and Modern World
 s\n\nis pleased to welcome as part of its speaker series\n\nProf Jeanne Mo
 refield\n	from Whitman College\n\nto give a presentation entitled\n\n'World
 liness and Politics: On Edward Said and Global Justice'\n\nAbstract: Conte
 mporary scholars of global justice\, international ethics\, and human righ
 ts often respond to political crises in an instrumental fashion by searchi
 ng for quick solutions to imminent problems through reference to either id
 eal moral theories of justice or international norms. This impulse\, I arg
 ue\, evacuates contemporary global politics of its immediate and remote hi
 storical context. Hidden from view behind universalizing narratives and in
 ternational institutions are the imperial legacies of dispossession\, extr
 action\, and racial hierarchy that helped shape the current moment. This p
 aper turns to the work of the late Edward Said as a methodological antidot
 e to this form of ethical presentism. Drawing particularly from Said’s cal
 l for ‘worldliness\,’ the paper explores how Said’s concern for those deni
 ed the ‘permission to narrate’ coupled with his fine grained attention to 
 language in context enabled him to develop contrapuntal readings of histor
 y that insistently dragged empire and exclusion back into our accounts of 
 the present. The paper concludes by thinking more extensively about what a
  Saidian influenced\, worldly disposition to global justice might look lik
 e.\n
