“…The roots of this lie in the following: rn Social fragmentation. The scale of modem urban living often leads to fragmented social relationships, so that the family I live with, the shopkeepers I buy from, the colleagues I work with, the copassengers I travel with on bus or train, the people I play sports with, are totally separate groups (Berger, Berger, & Kellner, 1974). So when a close family member dies, my colleagues at work are unlikely to have met her; likewise if a colleague drops dead at work, my family members are unlikely to have known her.…”

so completely." Indeed, a professional concern with bereavement-how survivors live on after the death-arose in the modem West at precisely the time that public concem with the afterlife-how the dead themselves live on-waned (AriPs, 1981;Walter, 1996a). It is perhaps not surprising that academic models of bereavement have focused on the bereaved individual rather than on the relations between bereaved people and those they have lost. That bereaved people maintain a bond with their dead has been recognized by twentieth-century bereavement theorists (Silverman & Klass, 1996), but until recently the phenomenon was generally seen as hypercathexis, an intensification of the bond as a prelude to breaking it (Fenichel, 1945;Raphael, 1983), as an introjection in the psyche that is by definition pathological (Dietrich

“…The focus on networks of relationships as a public matter rather than a private matter resonates with the description of traditional consciousness outlined by Berger et al. (1973). In traditional consciousness, however, such relationships are also marked by qualities such as ‘authority’, and ‘honour’, phenomena such as ‘incantation’ (e.g.…”

In this article, we draw attention to public-private dilemmas among psychologists that make sense of the debates around the replication crisis, citation practices and networking practices. We argue that the values of justice and caring map onto the public sphere and private sphere respectively and create the horns of a dilemma for academics. While bureaucratic justice is a publicly revered value of modernity in psychological research that underpins ethics, validity, reliability and equality of opportunity, 'caring' is a more subtle value of traditionalism that runs in parallel and is detected only by our psychological practices. In particular, we argue that it is detected by practices such as disputes between the replicated and their replicators in replication studies (understood as a dramatic counter reality) as to who is more 'careless' with procedure; citation (including the self-care of self-citation) as thanksgiving and incantation of powerful others in enchantment rituals, and the system of professional indebtedness that accrues in 'kinship' networks -where kinship is understood broadly as adoption into a research group and its network. The clashes between these values can lead to a sense of hypocrisy and irony in academic life, as incom-

“…NOTES 1. The phrase is used differently from the conceptual apparatus offered by Berger, Berger, and Kellner's (1974) institutional theories of bureaucracy and technological production. My focus here is the systems of reason, that is, the historically generated distinctions, differentiations, and divisions that order what is seen, thought about, and acted on (see Popkewitz, 1991Popkewitz, , 2008.…”

Globalization is a word that flows through many different contexts. A Google search identifies over 20 million sites for its descriptions and prescriptions. It is a topoi, it is a word that everyone seems to know and which needs no author. Globalization is a contemporary industry that crosses academia, commerce, and governments. In a European study of educational governance and social inclusion, it travels in the narratives of politicians, ministries, school leaders, and teachers to describe the fate of humankind: globalization was the given fact of the world, and schools are to prepare children for this future-to-come (Lindblad & Popkewitz, 2001). The hope of globalization is also the darkness of present economic woes and the homogenizing of cultures and traditions.My inquiry is about the historical principles of "reason" that enable "seeing," thinking, and acting as if globalization were an ontological object and subject that organizes modes of life. The chapter is first historical, providing a way to examine cultural theses generated in contemporary pedagogical policy and research about globalization. European and North American Enlightenment notions of cosmopolitanism are examined as making possible a particular linking of individuality and society that is inscribed in contemporary discourses of globalization. That linkage embodies "the homeless mind," 1 the self and daily life placed, as a participant in social structures and imaginaries that appear without historical and cultural specificity and without geographical boundaries. Numbers are explored in this context, embodying categories of equivalence that appear outside of history. Ironically, I argue, the homelessness of cosmopolitanism and numbers simultaneously generate principles of collective belonging and "homes" in school policy, research, and programs. The inalienable rights and freedom of the citizen are examples of this irony of "homelessness" even as they inscribe homes in the nation. globalization as a system of reason
