Annex A of Engendering Invagination and Gastrulation of Globalization (2010)

As indicated in the main paper, the following survey of web resources may be understood as an effort to venture into what is a virtual quagmire of sophisticated preoccupations of the humanities with deconstruction. The language is often as inaccessible as that required by fundamental physicists in their domain. The cognitive challenges of comprehensibility by the human brain are not integrated into the considerations of either deconstructionists or physicists. Whether the appropriate collective noun for deconstructionists should be caricatured as a "confusion of deconstructionists" is another matter.

The following quoted remarks are in each case selected to provide a context for understanding the language in which "invagination" (or "invaginated") is discussed in the psychosocial domain -- potentially in relation to "globalization", in its more general sense (as discussed in the main paper). The purpose is to determine what might be derived from current use of the term in contexts associated with keywords which might be associated with globalization.

The approach was therefore to undertake web searches by pairing "invagination" (or its variants) with terms potentially related to globalization, namely: social, societal, political, economic, psychosocial, psychological, psychoanalytic, communication, spiritual, cognitive, conceptual, community, memetic, semantic, strategic, globalization, feminist, self-refertence, self-reflexivity. For reading facility, "invagination" is in each case emphasized in bold.

The references are clustered into three groups:

• Items referring only to "invagination" or "invaginated"
• Items referring to "double invagination" or "doubly invaginated"
• Items referring to "chiasm" or "chiasmatic" invagination
