GS101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 19: Economic Globalization, Universal Declaration Of Human Rights, Cultural Globalization
Document Summary
Dynamism of sharing, mixing, crossing-over, and ultimately fusion of different cultural elements. A fusion of distinct cultures, constructing a new mix. Crossing of two distantly related strains to produce a new plant with novel properties produced by the genetic mixing. The hybrid represents a duality or multiplicity of identity - not purely one or the other. Mcdonalds in israel: two separate kitchens: kosher and nonkosher. Mcdonalds in india: no hamburgers, or replace beef with other meats. Fusion of indian and western classical styles. Anoushka shankar and ensemble with special guest patricia kopatchinskaja. Early fusion: 1996, peter gabriel and nusrat fateh ali khan, in your eyes . Later fusion: 2012, komal rizvi with akhtar chanal zahri, dama dum mast qalandar on coke studio. Qawwali: kangna by fareed ayaz and abu muhammad. Notice the differences with western popular culture: No moving, dancing, or jumping around on stage. Manic, ecstatic energy is released and yet contained.
