Beschrijving
This course examines global connections through the flows of ideas, people and things facilitated by the built networks and infrastructures that allow for (or obstruct) their movement through space. These infrastructures (in the form of technologies, material culture, policy regulations, social networks) involve economic, political and cultural processes shaped by existing power structures. They are not just the medium in which ideas, people and things move, but they are also objects which are given different meanings by different groups of people. Instead of looking at ‘the global’ and ‘local’ as fixed divides, we will examine how the movement of capital and ideas, people and commodities, operate at multi-scalar levels and how they strengthen or weaken social inequalities; the sovereignty of states and markets; and the boundaries of cultural identities and nationhood. How do these flows offer channels to understand the ways in which ideologies (based on class, gender, ethnicity etc) and power relations are shaped and reinforced? How do international and state institutions formulate and regulate policies of improvement and empowerment? What are the infrastructures that contribute in shaping the landscape of people’s everyday lives? How do different social groups frame their movements to embrace, negotiate or counter the introduction of various ‘projects of improvement’ and what strategies do they undertake to deal with existing modes of governmentality and control?
Keywords: globalization; power structures; nationalism and nationhood; governance and sovereignty; migration and citizenship; cultural heritage
