3. What 9/11 told me was that there was no
way that globalisation was going to be
Americanisation in the future nor should
it be. In order for globalisation to
advance, it had to be accepted by more
people; but not by imposing the
dominant American social and
philosophical beliefs and structures.
Jim O’Neill, Goldman Sachs
5. The economic growth we have seen in
non-Western countries over the last ten
years is enabling the emergence of a
new generation of humanity, both
modern and non-Western, whose stories
I am sure will soon feature regularly in
the literature we read.
Orhan Panuk, Novelist

8. A community in a harmonious
paradise is threatened by evil;
normal institutions fail to
contend with this threat; a
selfless superhero emerges to
renounce temptations and
carry out the redemptive task;
aided by fate, his decisive
victory restores the community
to its paradisiacal condition;
the superhero then recedes
into obscurity.
Lawrence and Jewett, 1977
The USA as Hero’s Journey
14. The coming into being of the notion of "author"
constitutes the privileged moment of
individualisation in the history of ideas, knowledge,
literature, philosophy, and the sciences. Even today,
when we reconstruct the history of a concept,
literary genre, or school of philosophy, such
categories seem relatively weak, secondary, and
superimposed in comparison with the solid and
fundamental unit of the author and the work.
Michel Foucault
15. What if brands were created in a
region that distrusted ego, the icon,
authorship, personality?
