Section Information for Spring 2019
We are told that we live in an age of globalization and that the world is becoming a global village. The interconnectedness of places and peoples is depicted as being somehow both new and natural, or at any rate inevitable. This course will show that such interconnectedness is neither new nor natural much less inevitable—although it is increasing, accelerating, and intensifying.
This course will cast a glance at the long histories of globalization. We will consider contemporary forms of globalization in some detail, especially the roles of media and new media, and digital technologies. We will try to come to a better understanding of how globalization is lived in everyday life and is experienced differentially across the globe. Lastly, we will consider the limits to globalization.
