02. Cultural globalization

1. Summary

Globalization is multidimensional process and integrating network. Connectivity defines use of communications technologies, urban environments and manner of social. Chief assumption is economic sphere that dominates the imagination and language of corporate business. We must resist temptation to attribute with casual primacy in globalization process. First reasoen is that constitution of analytical categories. Second reason is it distorts understanding of culture. Core of cultural globalization is interpretation of cultural imperialism, americanization or westernization. We have to probe complicated and elusive of culture. Culture is primordial context in which human agency arises and takes place. Useful way to consequentiality of culture for globalization is to grasp how culturally informed local actions. Subjectivities of human beings is important. Cultural globalization involves the increasing reflexivity of modern life.

 

SIngle global culture is unifying effects of connectivity. Increasing global connectivity is becoming widest sense. We have to qualify globalization as uneven process. Tendency to globalization push us towards an all-encompassing western. Stake for cultural analysis is deeper cultural implications of capacity. Connectivity of globalization disparate cultures into closer contact. There is pre-modern example of globalism. Different order of representation where the sacred and the empirical aren't disentangled. But we can't entire spurious nature of universal pretension. Universalizing discourse disappeared with sophistiation of cultural modernity. Tendency of unwarranted universalizing is core of european enlightenment rationality. Karl Marx said global culture is found in nineteenth century. But he combies eurocentric to other cultures. He see the destruction of non-european cultures. Marx view of culture was firmly rooted in european tradition. He appears as cheerfully optimistic about the prospects for globality. To take one'w own culture as obvious model as common is understandable.

 

Utopian and Dystopian speculation are poor predictions of actual cultural development. Understanding effects of globalization is felt within particular localities. Globalization is changing experience of locality and grasping deterritorialization. Culture is not tied to the constraints of local circumstances. Culture means particularity and location. But complex connectivity of globalization threatens to undermine conceptualization. Because it challengs insular thinking through which culture and fixity of location are paired. If globalization is spread of complext socialeconomic connections and deterritorialization is connectivity into locality that everday life experienced. Weakening of traditional ties will prove to be effect of cultural globalization. Deterritorialization is integration of distant events and dimension of experience. It's ordinary everday practice to relevant environment. Telemediatization of culture is distiction in 20C. It peculiar form of mobility as a novel form that experience is made present to human beings. Our use of media and communications technologies helps to define what's to exist as social being in the modern world. Cultural assumption runs technological developments to be valued. Larger cultural question is what speed and instant access means in emotion, social relations and cultural values. Deterritorialization promote sensibility of cultural openness.

 

 

2. Mention

From this reading, I can learn various terms about globalization. Of that, I am deeply impressived in deterritorialization. Deterritorialization is beside the point of structure and system. It is splitting flow to get out from repression and control. Desire flows are linked and make revolution to social structure. It can make new desire and create subject more and more. I can feel the dynamic power of globalization. Now, there is no seperation between subject and object.

 

 

3. Question

Even in globalization, humanity and human being are important. But, world is too big to deal with every people in the world. So, there are people who can not have substantive welfare. Gap between the rich and poor is increasing now. How can give effective welfare for every people in world. From different culture, various language and varied life, it must be different from these diverse condition. I think we need to make careful concern for isolated people. I want to talk with classmates.
