BOTH -is it fair to say there is a market for culture? -this kind of ? forces you to define -uses “market” as a metaphor -globalization = transactions -similar to our earlier concept of “transcendence” -transactions change cultures -change happens in two ways -not globalization-unique concepts, come from economics - evolutionary (i.e., governance) -not noticeable, slow -a community's growth changes its culture - Adaptation to place changes a culture - trade changes cultures -”punctuated equilibrium” -unexpected, abnormal, sudden -a model from Public Policy -long periods of stability, punctuated by sudden periods of change, then return to a new stability -ex: 9/11, Hurricane Katrina -if a group is dragged into global market - assume a group with a specific culture is brought into the global market, assume the group has no agency (power) -Sting's Rain Forest Foundation -conflict between different perspectives of deforestation: “do-gooders” vs. loggers dependent on trees -trying to redefine norms, governing narrative -looking at intersection of Pillars II and III, the focus = impact of market on human societies -Apadurai takes concept of “landscape,” applies to other things. -landscape: -the contours of the earth -a representation of the earth (like a painting) -exposure to new representations change what things mean -possibly standardize meaning -”globalization” = the actual changes -and the way we talk about (represent) them -mediascapes: global information market -information is a commodity -threat to governance -new source of influence “The Arab-Israeli problem” -emphasis demonstrates the representation that has been internalized -meanings are not fixed, they evolve and adapt because they are inherently artifacts of culture -representations are not fixed -global media market = a market for meaning -information is a transaction -between culture and market, individual and market, individual and culture -implies culture is not fixed → threat to traditionalists “John Frum” cargo cult -pidgin = cultural adaptation to missionary activity and trade -John Frum = extreme example of how “cultural landscape” can be renegotiated by exposure to markets
