A leading figure in cultural studies worldwide, Nestor Garcia
Canclini is a Latin American thinker who has consistently sought to
understand the impact of globalization on the relations between
Latin America, Europe, and the United States, and among Latin
American countries. In this book, newly available in English, he
considers how globalization is imagined by artists, academics,
migrants, and entrepreneurs, all of whom traverse boundaries and,
at times, engage in conflicted or negotiated multicultural
interactions. Garcia Canclini contrasts the imaginaries of previous
migrants to the Americas with those who live in transnational
circuits today. He integrates metaphor and narrative, working
through philosophical, anthropological, and socioeconomically
grounded interpretations of art, literature, crafts, media, and
other forms of expression toward his conclusion that globalization
is, in important ways, a collection of heterogeneous narratives.
Garcia Canclini advocates global imaginaries that generate new
strategies for dealing with contingency and produce new forms of
citizenship oriented toward multiple social configurations rather
than homogenization. This edition of Imagined Globalization
includes a significant new introduction by George Yudice and an
interview in which the cultural theorist Toby Miller and Garcia
Canclini touch on events including the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall
Street.

Hitherto, cultural theory and empirical work on culture have outstripped cultural policy. This book rectifies the peculiar imbalance in the field of Cultural Studies by offering the first comprehensive and international work on cultural policy. Fully alive to the challenges posed by globalization it addresses a wide range of central topics including cinema, television, museums, international organizations, art, public history, drama and performance art. The result is a landmark work in the emerging field of cultural policy. Rigorous in its field of survey and astute in its critical commentary it enables students to gain a global grounding in cultural policy. It will be essential reading for students of cultural studies and cultural sociology.
