Post Class 11/28/12 - Arjun Appadurai-

Arjun Appadurai has rather a broader ideology of the global cultural economy. However, his ideas ties into one piece at the end. He discussed disjuncture and difference in the global cultural economy which contains rather recent on going issues in global economy. He talks about "elementary framework for exploring such disjunctures to look at the relationship among five dimensions of global cultural flows that can be termed"(514). Those five dimensions are 'ethnoscapes', 'mediascapes', 'technoscapes', 'finacescapes', and ' ideoscapes'. They all tie into one similar relationship which shaped by globalization  and easier excess of everything. In today's society, whole world is so closely related especially in economy. No country is completely independent when it's come down to economy and culture. We think this irregular culture and relationships had been going on for long time. Yet this international phenomenon had been going on only last ten years, when we critically look at what Appadurai is discussing in his text.
