    Study Notes

    Globalization & Hegemony

    • Globalization refers to the interconnectedness and interdependency of the world in economic, social, and informational aspects.
    • Roland Robertson defined globalization as the "understanding of the world and the increased perception of the world as a whole."
    • Globalization has four basic aspects: trade and transactions, capital movements, migration of people, and diffusion of knowledge and technology.
    • Globalization can be viewed as cultural Americanization, promoting American culture and products globally. Critics argue this view reduces culture to commodities and ignores the complexities of cultural exchange.
    • Glocalization balances global and local considerations, respecting human rights and encouraging a "think globally, act locally" approach.

    Hegemony

    • Gramsci's theory of hegemony describes how dominant groups exert social, cultural, ideological, and economic influence over society.
    • Intellectuals, particularly "organic intellectuals" play a key role in establishing and maintaining hegemony.
    • Popular culture can be seen as a "compromised equilibrium" between dominant and subordinate forces, including commercial and authentic elements, resistance and incorporation.
    • Hegemony is a process, not a static state, influenced by historical circumstances and societal dynamics.
    • Semiotics studies signs and their meanings in society.
    • Sign: Something that stands for something else.
    • Roland Barthes expanded Saussure's signifier/signified model, claiming myth arises at the level of secondary signification (connotation).
    • Connotation is the deeper, culturally-informed meaning beyond the literal denotation of a sign.
    • Defamiliarization in popular culture refers to presenting familiar products and services in a seemingly new way, often through marketing strategies.

    Literature

    • Literature is a form of expression of human thoughts and emotions in words of beauty and truth.
    • Canonical Literature: High-quality literature that has stood the test of time due to its socio-political relevance and aesthetic value, often studied in academia.
    • Popular Literature: Literature widely enjoyed by the masses, often more accessible in language and themes.
    • There is no single definition of literature, only descriptions that encompass its forms and content.
