1. 1 Researching the global everyday of women activists 1. 1
Researching the global everyday of women activists: Experiencing
and doing globalisation Going through the broad spectrum of
globalisation research and literature, one might be astonished at
how much it assumes the force of global change, and how little of
this literature demonstrates this force in an empirically grounded
way. This study, being based on six months of empirical research in
Malaysia in 2004, sets out to counter this lack of thick
description of globalisation processes. It takes up the challenge
of researching the "global everyday" (Appadurai 2000, 18) of civil
society actors in Malaysia and focuses on how social activists
belonging to different branches of the women's movement selectively
app- priate, transform and even create global meanings and
materialise them in local practices. The methodological endeavour
of combining globalisation research and ethnography has been taken
up by a diversity of authors. Burawoy and his research team have
developed a complex methodological framework by focusing on the
experiential dimensions of globalisation. They want to produce a
"grounded globalisation" or "perspectives on globalisations from
below" (Burawoy 2000b, 338, 341). This perspective is very
fruitful, as the notion of experiencing globalisation as "forces,
connections, and imaginations" (Burawoy et al. eds. 2000) relocates
the global in the local and ties both together in mutual
constitution.
