  1. 5. Anthony Giddens describes the process whereby social relations are removed from local face-to-face interactions and stretched across the globe. People are therefore in global relations, even when they are physically separated in the global pandemic.
  2. 8. When a social structure is no longer dominated by a single axis of cultural power which centers on one location and when instead a number of centers of cultural power are paramount in a social structure; in medicine a seriously damaged joint which needs to be put straight (‘reduced’) as soon as possible and in the best possible way.
  3. 9. Negative views of globalization contain the fear that in fact all the different flavors of the world will be reduced to one single flavor in the end. In commercial milk (as opposed to fresh milk from the farm gate) all the cream has been removed in order to prevent it separating in the carton.
  4. 10. The degree of freedom that individuals and groups have, in all parts of the world, to carry out their activities, make choices, and develop in their own way. When Giddens speaks of ‘agentive capacity’ he is referring to the ability of single individuals (a recording star’s manager, for example) or of groups (a model’s or an athlete’s agent, for example) to act independently in the world. This term is usually applied in the context of the entertainment industry.

  1. 1. Local resistance to global scripts; or the resistance to global scripts as expressed in the electrical engineering of printed circuit boards (PCBs) — measured in Ohms.
  2. 2. Deterritorialization (of cultural forms). This term describes how cultural “forms” are displaced from their original geographic “home base” or “locale”. So even though the genre of Jamaican Reggae music was “invented” in Jamaica, today you can hear that music in coffee shops all around the globe– in Tokyo for example.
  3. 3. The anthropological’s preferred model of globalization, as opposed to the less preferred model of clash of cultures, is a model of productive mix of local cultures. This model is to be contrasted with the model of cross breeding of two very different species of plants or animals in biology.
  4. 4. The extreme globalization paradigm as put forth by hard-line globalists that believe all cultures are deep, bounded, and constant, meaning in inevitable clash of civilizations.
  5. 6. A term that anthropologists use to describe how local cultures absorb foreign practices and make sense of them within their own culture. It is also a term that is used by business in order to form a corporation under laws of a country that recognize a single legal entity.
  6. 7. Mathematicians use the word to describe things that are of exactly the same form, but sociologists use the word to describe identical twins. This week’s cultural model uncovers the false premise that there are natural correlations between human beings, a place on earth, and culture as found in that place.
