On Glocalization: or Globalization for some, Localization for some Others
TLDR
Globalization cuts both ways as discussed by the authors and not only valorizes the local in a cultural sense, but constructs the local as the tribal in a political sense, by reallocating poverty and stigma from above without even the residual responsibility of noblesse oblige.Abstract:
Globalization cuts both ways. Not only does it valorize the local in a cultural sense, it constructs the local as the tribal. Processes of geopolitical fragmentation give those in power even more room to manoeuvre. Glocalization involves the reallocation of poverty and stigma from above without even the residual responsibility of noblesse oblige. Geographical and social mobility are dichotomized; populations are refigured as tourists and vagabonds. Globalization thus reinforces already existing patterns of domination, while globalization indicates trends to dispersal and conflict on neo-traditional grounds. The privileged walk, or fly away; the others take revenge upon each other.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that practices of control are routinely embedded in a practical sense that informs what controlling borders does and means, which is itself informed by different professional habitus and work routines involving deterrence and the use of force, interrogation and detention, surveillance of populations on the move and profiling of (un)trusted travellers.

Cultural Capital Today: a case study from Denmark
TL;DR: In this article, a critical assessment of Pierre Bourdieu's theory of social differentiation in advanced societies as a multi-dimensional phenomenon is carried out based on Danish survey data subjected to correspondence analysis, which leads to a discussion of four core questions: first, are there signs of a strong individualism and, correspondingly, a weak social structuring of lifestyles?
