Theorizing Cultural Friction: How the Relationship between Cultural Products and Local Environments Shapes Localization Processes
How do different types of culture spread around the world? Do norms travel much like technologies? Do media and commodities diffuse in different ways? Surprisingly, research on cultural diffusion cannot yet answer these questions. Most scholars examine the spread of only one cultural object or class of object at a time. While this can tell us much about the actors, networks, and institutions involved, it tells us little about the objects themselv…

The priceless child talks back: How working children respond to global norms against child labor
This article examines how working children understand the morality of child labor. Drawing on interviews with children in Bolivia and Ecuador, I find that children call child labor moral when it helps them manage their social ties. Working children do not think of themselves as individuals needing care (per international organizations like the International Labor Organization) or as a cultural group needing recognition (per the "working children'…
Toward a Hermeneutic Model of Cultural Globalization: Four Lessons from Translation Studies
Many scholars study the global diffusion of culture, looking at how institutions spread culture around the world or at how intermediaries (or 'cultural brokers') adapt foreign culture in the local context. This research can tell us much about brokers' 'cultural-matching' or 'congruence-building' strategies. To date, however, few scholars have examined brokers' interpretive work. In this article, the author argues that globalization research needs…
The Universal King? Memory, Globalization, and Martin Luther King, Jr
This article examines how Martin Luther King, Jr. is remembered and represented by journalists in Ghana, South Africa, and Mexico, looking at coverage of 'critical discourse moments' from King's life and legacy (1963-2016). I argue that representations of King vary in terms of local resonance-how well foreign figures or events align with local myths, values, and expectations-and global salience-the perceived world historical importance of a past …
The moral glocalization of sport: Local meanings of football in Chota Valley, Ecuador
Studies of the glocalization of sport usually focus on 'aesthetic glocalization' (how local actors adopt a global sport and create a new hybrid aesthetic). This has led some critics to dismiss glocalization as a superficial 'façade' of diversity hiding global homogeneity. This paper challenges this view by looking at the 'moral glocalization' of sport and at the ways local actors give global sports local moral meanings. Drawing on interviews with…
The glocalization of time and space: Soccer and meaning in Chota valley, Ecuador
Globalization is commonly defined as time-space compression, a view that relies on an idea of 'empty' time and space where these dimensions have been stripped of local meanings by abstraction and standardization. This notion is incompatible with the globalization of culture literature that suggests that these processes do not erase local meanings but rather mix local and global culture in a process Roland Robertson calls 'glocalization.' However,…
