Globalization and Culture by John Tomlinson

Globalization and Culture by John Tomlinson

This work analyzes the cultural, social and moral aspects of globalization. It studies the relationship between globalization and comtemporary culture, explaining the importance of time and space concerns, cultural imperialism, "deterritorialization", the impact of the media and communication technologies and the possible growth of more cosmopolitan culture. The text discusses the uneven nature of the experience of global modernity in relation to first and third world countries, and concludes that a genuinely cosmopolitan cultre is unlikely to emerge unless we respect cultural differences and share a common sense of commitment about the world.

Tomlinson, John: - John Tomlinson's recent work has explored the place of speed within modern telemediated culture, resulting in his latest book, The Culture of Speed: The Coming of Immediacy published by Sage Publications in October 2007.
