This book explores how discourses of tile local, tilt particular,
the everyday, and the situated are being transformed by new
discourses of globalization and transnationalism, as used both by
government and business and in critical academic discourse, Unlike
other studies that have focused on the politics and economics of
globalization, Articulating the Global and the Local highlights the
importance of culture and provides models for a cultural studies
that addresses globalization and the dialectic of local and global
forces.
Arguing for the inseparability of global and local analysis, the
book demonstrates how global forces enter into local situations and
how ill turn global relations are articulated through local events,
identities, and cultures; it includes studies of a wide range of
cultural forms including sports, poetry, pedagogy ecology, dance,
cities, and democratic Articulating the Global and the Local makes
tile ambitious claim that the category of the local transforms the
debate about globalization by redefining what counts its global
culture. Central to tile essays are the new global and translocal
cultures and identities created by the diasporic processes of
colonialism and decolonization. The essays explore a variety of
local, national, and transnational contexts with particular
attention to race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality as categories
that force us to rethink globalization itself.
