Document Summary
Arjun appadurai-disjuncture and difference in the global economy. You cant say theres 2 points of access. Disjunctive: we cant always trace things, things will jump back and forth so hard to trace back. It might be imagined, socially construed but that doesn"t mean its any less effective. Nation-state: before it would be said they work together, but now with disjuncture is growing wider (micro-identities) , national identity vs state identity. Mediaescapes: allows us to imagine how cultures for example live their life like bollywood, hollywood. You can use any one of these scapes as an entry point for a deeper analysis. Globe-hopping: just because a city is wealthy doesn"t mean the neighbouring cities are wealthy, wealth could hop over to another city far from it. Appadurai is more cultural aspect vs ferguson whose more economical aspect. Appadurai talks about it"s a flow, culturalist approach of globalization. Ferguson enabling and disabling of connection, point to point connection, political economy approach.
