Suvremenost kolonijalizma: kapitalistička modernost, imperijalni rasizam i nekropolitika

Author(s): Šefik Tatlić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2016

This text articulates global capitalism as an imperial formation, it deems that modernity is a particular project and/or discursive rhetoric, as well as it articulates necropolitics as the dominant form of politics in capitalism in the post 9/11 era. Hence, global capitalism is being treated here as the imperial formation and a relation of dominance which fundamentally resides on colonial epistemologies and governing logic. Modernity is, therefore, being articulated as a particular discursive rhetoric of the First World which universalizes modernity in order to conceal and/or repress other formats of organizing modernity and, in order to apply and normalize various premodern logics and ideologies, such as racism, as foundations on the basis of which social differentiation and capitalist hierarchies of exploitation are being organized. Finally, this text articulates the concept of necropolitics which is an obscene form of politics that has, in the post 9/11 era, been reduced to a form of management of death and to a machinistic form of governing that treats the world as if it is just a commodifiable category.

Sunne – Göran Tunström‘s Land of Peace and Beauty

Author(s): Roxana-Ema Dreve / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2014

Our times have been described as the age of globalization, of emergent technologies, an ”information era” where diversity and specificity express the complexity of several essential themes, such as identity, culture, language. But is today’s society built on a culture of peace? This is the question we will try to answer, while aiming to understand the forces affecting the identity and the behaviour of individuals in the novels written by the Swedish author Göran Tunström.

Inequality in heritage centres: Analysing the reality in Mexican cities

Author(s): Marina de la Torre,Navarrete David / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

Globalisation has had an impact in Mexican cities, creating new urban structures. Therefore, globalisation modifies the relationships that individuals establish with the territory through the construction of new citizenship practices. With a multidisciplinary approach, we develop a theoretical analysis that allows us to understand the new condition of Mexican historical centres caused by the challenges imposed by becoming a World Heritage Site. We apply a theoretical construct that allows us to portray certain aspects of reality in Mexican cities regarding the construction of democratic and participative practices of citizenship. We analyse this phenomenon based on two theoretical points of departure: a) the process of becoming a heritage site (i.e., tourism/gentrification) and b) the theory of social capital. The results show that the new situation implies a transformation in the space, time and economy of the heritage site. In the historical centre, the political actors and institutions promote centralist, transnational and urban conservationist development. An urbanism is created that prioritises conservation to the benefit of tourists and to the detriment of enjoyment, use and participation by the local population. Furthermore, there is an erosion of the social fabric through processes of exclusion and gentrification, which place citizenship in peril.

Card usage by Turks when travelling abroad: shopping and Transnationalisation

Author(s): Yagmur Ozyer,Başak Değerli,Alper Değerli,Ebru Gozukara / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

In the 21st century, great progress with information and communication technologies brought a dizzyingly fast transformation. It is possible to say that reflections on some terms like glocalization and transnationality, emerging as a natural consequence of this transformation, are increasingly important in this connected world where everything is lived and consumed fast. While technological improvements and social transformations are blurring the boundaries between countries, the scope of transportability is widening. In this process, consumer as a concept was also affected from this expansion and the term of “transnational consumer” is to become more popular. This period of change has also reduced the differences between domestic or local shopping experience from shopping abroad which used to be perceived as luxury that only high income group can afford. Addition to this, with the help of credit cards physical difficulties stemmed from holding cash faded away and this facilitated shopping abroad without the hassle of currency exchange in a different country market. In this study, credit and bank card usages in shopping and cash withdrawals by Turkish consumers abroad have been investigated to understand whether there are specific patterns or trends.

Globalizacija i siromaštvo

Author(s): Braco Kovačević,Irina Kovačević / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 01+02/2014

Globalization is a very powerful contemporary process of integration of the world into one entity which is controlled by powerful institutions of financial capital. It is based on principles of neo-liberalism and completely opposed to poor peoples and their states. Measures of neo-liberal economy increase unemployment and poverty by showing its contradiction – on one side they develop economic productiveness, technological and social development, and on the other side poverty and unemployment. So the neo-liberal globalization is shown as a continual continuation of neo-colonialism and neo-imperialism.

Jeopolitik Kayma: Denge Kuşaklarından Geçit Bölgelerine

Author(s): Emre Baysoy / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 13/2016

Geopolitics has always been a disputable concept. Apart from the disagreements about whetherit is an eligible method of analysis, there are also debates among the various approaches in terms of what geopolitics is. Moreover, some approaches determine geopolitics either regarding as a substantive, two dimensional or a geographical phenomenon such as in the 19th century or try to apply in classical terms and models to explain the developments of the early 21st century. The aim of this study is to sort out these disputations with the claim that geopolitics generate the both background and the front side of the struggles within the globalisation phenomenon while arguing that geopolitics is a dynamic, flexible and multidimensional concept.

Citizenship and Identity: Being Hungarian in Slovakia and Romanian in Serbia and Ukraine

Author(s): Julien Danero Igelsias,Róbert Sata,Ágnes Vass / Language(s): English Issue: 18/2015

Central and Eastern Europe is a perfect laboratory for the study of interaction between borders, identities and citizenship; and the relationship between minorities, the state they live in and their kin-state. These relations are constantly evolving and fluctuating.1 National minorities are spread across newly-established and nationalizing states, sometimes at the border of their kin-state, sometimes further away, following both the political and national reconfigurations after the fall of multinational empires like the Hapsburg, Ottoman and the Tsarist Empire after World War I, and multinational states like the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia after 1989. In this context, we aim to question the self-identification of national minorities living at the border of their kin-state that gives them a certai form of protection through various processes and legislation, like citizenship.

Medijski imperijalizam u svijetu kao posljedica kulturnog imperijalizma

Author(s): Mustafa Sefo / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 3/2016

Media and media content are widely consumed every day by millions of people around the world. Every hour, minute and second, someone somewhere is consuming one of the branches of the media. The media inform, educate, entertain, spread and promote ideas, influence the audience both positively and negatively. The dependence of the media has taken cultural, educational, social, moral and religious aspects of the world. People of today want to be part of what is at the moment the trend in the world. Most people mimic the lifestyle of some celebrities and all that has been taken from then existing cultural values. Media and communication imperialism is directly related to the activities of the media domination of one state over another. Ownership structure, distribution or content of the media in such country are under the influence of pressure from the media interest in some other country or group that is completely out of touch even with that country.

Family in the Face of Globalization

Author(s): Elżbieta Szczot / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

The effects of the impact of globalization on the family were presented in this article. Globalization of culture and globalization of consumption became the main causes of changes in the value system. So-called uniformity (unification) of life and its homogenization were a result of global transformation. Relations with people and objects take on a new, transitional character. Mankind seeks to achieve happiness and joy, but the boundaries between good and evil, truth and falsehood, values and anti-values are blurred. The fast pace of changes contributes, on the one hand, to a multiplicity of choices but, on the other hand, to the formation of transience, temporality, and changeability. Since the 1960s there have been new, alternative forms of family life. The 1990s brought the fashion for “invisible women” manifested in blurring gender difference. In the first decade of the twenty-first century some legal changes concerning same sex partnerships were made common and in some countries such partnerships were regarded as equivalent to marriage, thus weakening understanding of the traditional definition of the family.

ЗБЕРЕЖЕННЯ НАЦІОНАЛЬНИХ ТРАДИЦІЙ У МИСТЕЦТВІ ЕСТРАДНОГО ВИДОВИЩА У СВІТЛІ ПРОЦЕСІВ ГЛОБАЛІЗАЦІЇ

Author(s): Svitlana Zaichenko / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 4/2014

This article identifies the main characteristics of today's popular culture in the world, and particularly in Ukraine and variety shows as the most popular type among population mass leisure culture.In this article proved that all the phenomena of popular culture today are somehow related to one characteristic property – all of their cultural elements, appearing in various spheres of public life, are prevalent in a given society and is a part or the source of world popular culture, becoming the new way of communication between people, not only within a country but also worldwide. Indicated that partially it becomes possible because of rapidly progressive and integrating into society mass-media, so that made possible much easier to take part into creation of cultural products and, as a re-sult, to become a part of the global cultural process.It is proved that in Ukraine as a result of the destruction of the old Soviet values system there is a need to establish new models of styles and ideals of life that would meet the needs of the time and the mentality of the Ukrainian people, and that exactly mass and popular cultures are called to do this, as the most effective and influential driving forces. Based on the exposed ideas of known culture-experts in this article is determined that is common and different between mass and popular culture, and therefore defined which phenomena of contemporary culture, we can attribute to the popular and which are to the mass culture and which to both at once, although until today are disputable among re-searchers using the terms "mass culture" and "popular culture", because the role of "masses" changed, constantly changes role of the mass culture in the world, becomes differentiated within this phenomenon, takes place the audience stratification and borrowing cultural elements from elite culture.In this article investigated that for today variety show in the industrial society is one of the most popular among people the mass culture phenomenon because of its dynamism, brightness, festivity, easiness and at the same time, social relevance and activity.In this article the end of XX – beginning of XXI century characterized as the beginning of the globalization world influences at all levels of public life, including culture, defined the character of such influence, its negative and positive signs. Because the nature of the relationship of Ukraine with globalized world is perhaps the most important and the most difficult question of its current development, in the article paid much attention to the study of globalization impacts on the development of the mass culture in Ukraine which are shown mostly in imitation "Western" culture, that are considered by many, more progressive system of values, that is a result of widening market standardization of cultural goods and services and the commercialization of cultural products, which reduces its positive impact on the individual, and, consequently, society as a whole.Noted also that economic difficulties on the beginning of the process of Ukrainian state-creations caused a significant negative impact on the development of mass culture in Ukraine, as a result Ukraine has lost control over the production of its own mass cultural product and its distribution, leaving it in the complete control of Western, American and Russian producers.Modern society requires a professional scientifically proven non-traditional approach to solving today's problems in the field of the mass culture that are related with the processes of globalization. Under these conditions, an interesting subject for studying of the problems of reviving the spirituality and the general culture of the people becomes particularly the variety show, as the most common form of mass art spectacular, which expands its borders performing arts and be-came a phenomenon of everyday life, getting into fashion, media, television, sports, the communication between people, and even in education and science.Based on the analysis demonstrated the importance of preserving national traditions in the arts, including and entertainment spectacular forms the mass culture and the ways of their distribution and promotion. One of these methods proposed development of creative artistic performances at different levels and for different age and social groups, radically redirecting cultural and recreational activities in Ukraine, by reorganization of the now "active" since the Soviet times houses of culture or the creation of new modern answering mentality and growing spiritual value-orientation and recreational needs of the population of each area recreation centers for leisure time. Just art creation most effectively promotes the spiritual revival of the individual through the mastery of the cultural values of the past and present.In this article proved that the development of mass spectacle, including variety has the future, because modern per-son is tired to be lonely and useless in society, and exactly by participating in mass creative action or through the process of audience perception traces the connection of worship and games as components of spirituality, occurs the understanding and experiencing of the values of goo, truth and beauty. The variety show, that has cultural and historical character as a special form of communication, directs person and his values in the context of life perspective "past-present-future."Another way to preserve and promote cultural heritage is supporting of state-level variety figure in a particular genre as national "producers" – putting various benefits and privileges on radio, television and other media, supporting for various festivals, competitions, creative evenings, shows and other public spectacles, that have cultural and national character, at the local level through the involvement of patrons and sponsors who would be interested by the state through preferences to invest their sponsorship money in realization the above-mentioned mass creative activities. Ac-cording to the author in the sphere of activities of art critics should get such aspect as the nationality of variety shows, as the most popular for today kind of mass culture.Results of the research explicitly designed for use in practice by lecturers and other workers of mass culture and leisure sector.

Who Shapes Global Migration Governance Today and Who’s Affected by It? Report from the Conference ‘Geopolitics and Transnational Migration

Globalizare şi agroturism

Author(s): Laura Mihail / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2009

The paper deals with two issues: globalisation and agritourism. The term globalisation refers specifically to economic globalisation, meaning the integration of national economies into the international economy, through trade, foreign investment, capital flows, migration and the spread of technology, but it can also refer to circulation of ideas, languages or popular culture. Agritourism is a kind of vacation that normally takes place in a farm. Eager to leave the much too stressful modern cities, tourists are in search of peaceful, nice, relaxing, simple places where there is a chance to help with farming during the visit. The two interconnect and influence each other at different levels: from the point of view of the agritourism, the globalisation has on the one hand several advantages such as the free crossing of borders, inviting foreign tourists by presenting special offers; but, on the other hand, there are also some disadvantages such as changing the very being of traditional villages and, with them, even the traditions themselves risk to become superficial.

GLOBALIZATION PHENOMENON AND ITS EFFECTS

Author(s): Selin Ayaz / Language(s): English Issue: 24/2021

Globalization is a word that probably heard and used by everyone in all regions of the world. The developments in communication, telecommunication, transportation and logistics opportunities brought by the information and the age of technology geographical boundaries can easily be crossed. The world has almost turned into a “global village” and this transformation caused positive and negative effects in economic, social, cultural, political dimensions for nation-states, institutions, societies and individuals. This impact and transformation built a “New World Order” as this new order created an environment of uncertainty. The future anxiety caused by this uncertainty triggers social discomfort and even chaos. Globalization is designated as both the cause and the outcome of this new world order. Globalization phenomenon, used for the first time to define the global root-to-branch transformation in 1833, was the center of discussion ever since its introduction to academic circles. This study analyzes the globalization phenomenon with its essential features, and the concepts and systems it transformed will be evaluated with a holistic approach.

Az angol nyelv és a globalizáció

Author(s): Péter Medgyes / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 4/2022

This paper is concerned with the relationship between the English language and globalization, stressing that the primacy of English has been established by the economic and political power of native English-speaking countries, especially that of the United States. However, the price of this development is that the native speakers of English are no longer the sole owners of the language who determine how to use it. The success of communication depends on pragmatic effectiveness, which can well be achieved by alternating the languages available to the speaker. This new approach may have a significant influence on language teaching methods. After a discussion of the state of foreign language education in Hungary, the paper ends by describing the possible scenarios concerning the future of English, as well as the factors leading to multilingualism.

Биткоин и „четврти талас” глобализације

Author(s): Srđan Radulović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2024

The tendency to transform individual social communities into a universal, unified society which knows no boundaries (or at least does not insist on them), with the necessary dose of simplification, is the conceptual definition of globalization. Since it is a tendency, globalization naturally has its own temporal dimension. The process of determining the time coordinates of this phenomenon is extremely complex and the results may vary depending on the scientific approach and point of view. However, we believe that it is possible to reach a consensus that the process of globalization is not continuous, but has several phases. We tend to think that there are three main phases of globalization. Of course, we fully respect other competing systems of periodization and argumentation on which they are based. Nevertheless, we do not doubt that proponents of different periodization would agree that a new phase of globalization began recently, although it is difficult to determine the exact moment when it was initiated. Namely, on October 31, 2009, a mysterious developer, or more likely group of developers, behind the fictious name of Satoshi Nakamoto, published the so-called White Paper titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. More than ten years later, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. These two, at first glance unrelated events cumulatively initiated chain of new transformations, all leading toward a more unified society. Probably the most important change, one that is the focus of this paper, is the transformation of centralized localized monetary systems into completely decentralized, digitalized, totally independent, almost entirely self-sustaining, and self-regulating global financial structure. This paper presents a part of the results collected through the theoretical-empirical research conducted previously on both legal and socio-economic moments that initiated a new phase of globalization. These results refer mostly to events that initiated a new phase of globalization, their connections, and problems of periodization. The remaining results, results on the scope and expected overall effects of this phase, will be presented in the next article in this series. All the results of the research and conclusions were collected based on different analytical-synthetical methods, mostly abstraction and generalization. In this paper specifically, different techniques of the normative method were used. Also, special techniques of legal norm interpretation were used in the process.
