Red globalization book..

pg 15 and 16

From the text, we can derive that cultural globalization is a process that
goes beyond just economic and political integration. It involves the spread
and interaction of cultures across the world through forces like migration,
tourism, media, and telecommunications. These interactions lead to the
blending and hybridization of cultures, creating new, shared cultural
practices and greater awareness of cultural diversity.

Cultural globalization also has a dual effect: while it brings different


cultures together, it can also reinforce local identities and customs,
making people more conscious of their unique cultural heritage. This
process can even influence nationalism, as people develop a sense of
belonging that is shaped by their interactions with global cultures.

Overall, cultural globalization highlights the importance of cultural


exchange and interconnectedness in shaping global society.

Based on your reference, here are the key characteristics of cultural


globalization:

1. **Non-Economic and Non-Political Processes**: Cultural globalization


involves processes beyond just economics and politics, such as migration,
tourism, media, and telecommunications.

2. **Cultural Hybridization**: The interaction of different cultures leads to


the creation of new, hybrid cultural forms in language, religion, customs,
music, and cuisine.

3. **Global Consciousness**: There is an increasing awareness of the


world as a whole, where people recognize their interdependence with
other cultures.
4. **Cultural Interdependence**: Different cultures are exposed to and
influence each other, leading to a mix of global and local cultural
elements.

5. **Reinforcement of Local Identity (Localism)**: While cultures blend


globally, globalization also strengthens local identities, making people
more conscious of their unique cultural heritage.

6. **Influence on Nationalism**: Globalization can shape nationalism,


where people’s sense of belonging is influenced by their interactions with
global cultures rather than just their local or national identity.

transnational flow of people, goods, and capital

that creates a global division of labor with an

equally global diffusion of material and cultural

goods. For example, goods produced with Korean

or Chilean labor, from materials mined in Zaire or

grown in India, are sold in the shops in Paris,

Los Angeles, or Tokyo. People born and raised in

Mexico, Guatemala, Turkey, Algeria, Ethiopia, or

Zimbabwe travel north to find work to sustain

families left behind. At the same time, music

from American urban ghettos is played in the

shops in Japan and Australia or the streets of


Budapest and Russia, portable telephones manufactured in Finland adorn
the hips of laborers

from Santiago to Cape Town, and television sta-

tions around the globe fill their schedules with

the product of Hollywood studios while munching

on American-style fast food of Big Macs and

French fries.

As the same time as local sites become linked

in a global circulation of people, signs, materials,

and goods, globalization is understood to be

reshaping the parts of the world now joined

communicatively and economically. While some

people and phenomena are ripped from spatial

and territorial moorings, others – for example,

social groups based on ethnic, linguistic, or reli-

gious practices – become re-territorialized, mak-

ing claims to specific pieces of geography with

newly recognized boundaries as the ground of

their participation in the global world order.

While some localities experience a marked in-

crease in standards of living (measured in terms

of reduced infant mortality, longevity, education,

and calories consumed), others experience an

equally marked decline in material, psychological,

and sociological conditions of everyday life. In the

techno-science account, the global community is

linked internally by its actively shared cultures

and externally through its collective scientific

exploration beyond this globe.


Rather than a portrayal of the success of science

and technology, the political-economy account

emphasizes the virtues of flexible production,

worldwide sourcing, and low-cost transportation

and communication. Just as the boundaries be-

tween time, space, people, and things are erased

in the techno-science account, the economic ac-

count emphasizes the erasure of traditional dis-

tinctions among market tools – between banking,

brokerage, insurance, business, politics, and con-

sumer credit – and the promotion of strict bound-

aries between economics and politics.

Finally, urban development is dependent on both structure (groups such


as local government) and agency (individuals including businessmen and
activists), and these groups engage in a push-pull dynamic that
determines where and how land is actually used.
