Culture, Globalization And The World-System
This book examines the complex relations between cultural issues, globalization and the world-system. Culture, whether in its material or symbolic form, is an attribute which people(s) are said to have; globalization is a process and the world-system a structure. The anthology of different authors then examines these interrelations from different perspectives:rnrnAnthony D.

You go round the entire globe: when you know what everybody else is, then you are what they are not.

Thus the central feature of global culture today is the politics of the mutual effort of sameness and difference to cannibalize one another and thus to proclaim their successful hijacking of the twin Enlightenment ideas of the triumphantly universal and the resiliently particular.rnAppears in 34 books from 1990-2006rnrnPage 155 - This was the moment when language invaded the universal problematic, the moment when, in the absence of a center or origin, everything became discourse — provided we can agree on this word — that is to say, a system in which the central signified, the original or transcendental signified, is never absolutely present outside a system of differences.rnAppears in 157 books from 1962-2008rnrnContents:rnGlobalization and Ethnicity 19rnOld and New Identities Old and New Ethnicities 41rnSocial Theory Cultural Relativity and the Problem 69rnCan There Be Such 91rnScenarios for Peripheral Cultures 107rnInterrogating Theories of the Global 129rnn Languages and Models for Cultural Exchange 139rnHI Specificity and Culture 145rnGlobalization Totalization and the Discursive Field 155rnReconciling Conflicting 161rnName Index 175rnNotes on Contributors 185rnCopyright
