What is “globalization”? • Compression of time and space • “complex connectivity” (Tomlinson, 1999); rise of network societies (Castells, 2000) • Increasing movement of populations around the globe • “…globalization has intensified intercultural relations, in the process encouraging countless new combinations and blurring distinctions between nations and civilizations…” (Scholte, 2000, p. 2) IDS 3309 Shumow 6/15/11
Four “spheres” of globalization • Technological • Economic • Political • Cultural IDS 3309 Shumow 6/15/11
Where do information, communication and media fit into this equation? • Technological: Internet, satellites, fiberoptics • Economic: Business information, global stock markets, free trade agreements, advertising, marketing • Political: Diplomacy, wars, Wikileaks, transnational issues (drugs, weapons, climate change) • Cultural: Transnational media conglomerates, media imperialism, cultural hybridity, immigration, the rise of global cities IDS 3309 Shumow 6/15/11
