With contributions from top scholars in the field, this
cutting-edge Handbook critically examines the effects of
glocalisation on various subdisciplines of the humanities and
social sciences. Broad and innovative, it provides a fresh take on
the different forms of the glocal in contemporary culture. Using
engaging case studies, humanities scholars examine how
glocalisation has impacted archaeology, art, literature,
philosophy, law and food; social science experts discuss the impact
on tourism, religion, urban studies, criminology, education and
sports. Forward-thinking, the volume engages with new developments
in media and communication, considering how technological
innovation, digitisation and the mediatised world affect
interrelations in consumer culture. It concludes with an
examination of new research frontiers, considering translocality,
world science theory, and post-colonialism to expand the field by
developing original approaches and suggesting new directions for
research. Featuring practical insights from a wide range of
disciplines, this Handbook is invaluable for students and scholars
across the humanities and social sciences. It will also benefit
policy makers within cultural domains concerned with glocalisation.
