Thematic Case Studies
The contested narrative serves to provide polar opposite positions on globalization and its effects, through the use of two fictional character guides, Naomi and Jalalu.
The guides’ arguments are woven throughout the website
and are presented with reference to the case study characters in
the form of commentary, critique and questioning.
