Global interaction today
Tension between cultural homogenization and heterogenization
Appadurai
The global cultural economy
Global flows occur in and through the growing disjuncture between ethnoscapes, technoscapes, finanscapes, mediascapes, and ideoscapes. = “imagined worlds”
Appadurai
5 scapes
I mean the landscape of persons who constitute the shifting world in which we live: tourists, immigrants, refugees, exiles, guestworkers, and other moving groups and persons constitute an essential feature of the world, and appear to affect the politics of and between nations to a hitherto unprecedented degree.
Ethnoscape
Appadurai
5 scapes
I mean the global configuration, also ever so fluid, of technology, and of the fact that technology, both high and low, both mechanical and informational, now moves at high speeds across various kinds of previously impervious boundaries.
Technoscape
Appadurai
5 scapes
Since the disposition of global capital is now a more mysterious, rapid and difficult landscape to follow than ever before, as currency markets, national stock exchanges, and commodity speculations move mega-monies through national turnstiles at blinding speed, with vast absolute implications for small differences in percentage points and time units.
Finanscape
Appadurai
5 scapes
Refer both to the distribution of the electronic capabilities to produce and disseminate information (newspapers, magazines, television stations, film production studios, etc.), which are now available to a growing number of private and public interests throughout the world; and to the images of the world created by these media.
Mediascape
Appadurai
5 scapes
Concatenations of images, often directly political and frequently have to do with the ideologies of states and counter-ideologies of movements explicitly oriented to capturing state power or a piece of it.
Ideoscape
The global cultural economy
Deteterritorialization
Is one of the central forces of the modern world, since it brings laboring populations into the lower class sectors and spaces of relatively wealthy societies, while sometimes creating exaggerated and intensified senses of criticism or attachment to politics in the home-state.
The global cultural economy
Production fetishism
I mean an illusion created by contemporary transnational production loci, which masks translocal capital, transnational earningflows, global management and often faraway workers (engaged in various kinds of high-tech putting out operations) in the idiom and spectacle of local (sometimes even worker) control, national productivity and territorial sovereignty.
The global cultural economy
Consumer fetishism
I mean to indicate here that the consumer has been transformed, through commodity flows (and the mediascapes, especially of advertising, that accompany them) into a sign, both in Baudrillard’s sense of a simulacrum which only asymptotically approaches the form of a real social agent; and in the sense of a mask for the real seat of agency, which is not the consumer but the producer and the many forces that constitute production.
Glocalization of youth culture
Glocalisation
Members of the youth market interpret and rework global cultural practices and meanings to fit into their local contexts. Consumption practices are inscribed in local, historically constituted cultural discourse of youth cultural consumption, modernity, and globalization.
