We have a light chat this week with German journalist Cora Knoblauch on the ironies of globalisation. With so much of the world levelled to become 'similar' how do we envision 'difference' and 'uniqueness' that do not fall into the trappings of reactionary politics? What other models of modernity are there other than the European one?
