    Globalization Studies

    One of the persistent problems afflicting the

    study of globalization is that it is far from a

    uniform, irreversible, and inexorable trend.Rather, globalization is a fragmented,

    incomplete, discontinuous, contingent, and in

    many ways contradictory and puzzling

    process (238). Enormous increase in publications on

    globalization (anthro lit is smallest)

    Guillns Conclusions

    Globalization is changing the nature of the world, butis neither an invariably civilizing nor a destructiveforce. (Tsing: extreme poles of light and dark)

    Globalization is neither a monolithic nor an inevitablephenomenon. Its impact varies across countries,societal sectors, and times.

    The complexity of globalization requires furtherresearch, especially in developing perspectives thatbridge the micro-macro gap; that move across levelsof analysis from the world-system to the nation-state,the industrial sector, community, organization, andgroup. (call for interdisciplinary work)

    The Global Situation

    - Anna Tsing World-making flows are not just interconnections but

    also the recarving of channels and the remapping ofthe possibilities of geography.

    The charisma or seduction of globalization (like thecharisma of modernization); how these ideas capturethe imagination.

    As globalization becomes instituted in the academy,corporate policy, politics, and popular culture, it isimportant to pay attention to these sites tounderstand what globalization projects do in theworld.

    Features of Global Imaginings

    Futurism: the ability to name an era and predict itsprogress (problem: creates stereotypes of the pastagainst which global futurism defines itself)

    Conflations: varied projects, such as populist andcorporate, all seem wrapped up in the sameenergetic movement (problem: varied global projectscreate different forms of subjectivity and agency; weneed to look at this multiplicity)

    Circulations: rhetoric of overcoming boundariesappears positive for everyone (problem: focusing onthe movement of people, things, ideas, or institutionsalone does not show us how movement depends onscales or units of agency)

    Scale as an Object of Analysis

    Through joint attention to ideologies of scale andprojects of scale making, it is possible to move intothose cracks most neglected by unselfconscious

    reliance on global futurism, globalist conflation, andglobal circulation (347).

    An enthographic study of the global needs carefulattention not only to global claims and their effects onsocial life but also to questions of interconnection,

    movement and boundary crossing that globalistspokespeople have brought to the the fore (351).

    Focus on interconnections between global-localrather than absolute distinction between global and

    local.

    Tourism & Collecting

    Today we go back to the late nineteenth century toconsider the travel and collecting practices of anotherera and their implications in the development of

    modern understandings of cultural difference. Collections are archives or vocabularies filled with the

    objects / images / signs / words with which weconstruct narratives of ourselves on both personaland social levels. In amassing collections, private or

    public, personal or shared, categories becomeessential ways of organizing and thereby making

    sense of things.
