Cultural Flows
GEC103 | The Contemporary World
Introduction
Because much of it exists in the form of ideas, words,
images, musical sounds, and so on, culture tends to
flow comparatively easily throughout the world. In fact,
that flow is increasingly easy because culture exists
increasingly in digitized forms.
Introduction
While culture does flow comparatively easily across the
globe, not all cultures and forms of culture flow as
easily or at the same rate.

DIFFERENTIALISM

C. Differentialism
Cultural differentialism involves barriers
that prevent flows that serve to make
cultures more alike; cultures tend to
remain stubbornly different from one
another.
C. Differentialism
• Those who adopt this theory argue that there are lasting differences
among and between cultures, largely unaffected by globalization or
any other bi - , inter - , multi - , and trans - cultural processes and
flows.
The next phase, roughly from 1500 to the close of WW II, was
2ND PHASE
characterized by the sustained, overpowering, and unidirectional
impact of Western civilization on all other civilizations.
Huntington attributes this to various structural characteristics of
the West including the rise there of cities, commerce, state
bureaucracy, and an emerging sense of national consciousness.

among civilizations
2ND PHASE
in ocean navigation and the military (including a superior military
organization, discipline and training, and, of course, weaponry). In
the end, the West excelled in organized violence and while those in
the West sometimes forget this, those in other parts of the world
have not.

among civilizations
2ND PHASE
Thus, by 1910, just before the beginning of World War I, the world
came closer, in Huntington’s view, than at any other time in
history to being one world, one civilization – Western
civilization.

3rd PHASE
The Multi-Civilizational System is traceable to the end of the expansion
of the West and the beginning of the revolt around it.
Clash of Civilization
3rd PHASE
• The period after WW II and until about 1990 was characterized by a clash
of ideas, especially capitalist and communist ideologies, but with the fall of
communism, the major clashes in the world came to revolve around
religion, culture, and ultimately civilizations.

• Also helpful to the economic rise of the East are other commonalities
among the nations of the region (e.g. religion, especially Confucianism)
Clash of Civilization
3rd PHASE
• The West also seeks to export democracy to, even impose it on, other
societies and civilizations (Iraq and Afghanistan are notable examples in
the Islamic world), which often resist it as part of the West’s idea of
universal culture.
Clash of Civilization
• Huntington has earned numerous criticisms and great enmity for his
controversial statements about Islamic civilization and Muslims
(Huntington 1996 ). For example, he argues that wherever Muslims and
non - Muslims live in close proximity to one another, violent conflict
and intense antagonism are pervasive.
• Huntington puts much of the blame for this on Muslims and what is, in
his view, their propensity toward violent conflict. He argues that, from
the beginning, Islam has been a religion of the sword.
• The relationship between Islam and other civilizations has historically
been one of mutual indigestibility.
Clash of Civilization
• Huntington is concerned about the decline of the West, especially of the
US. He sees the US, indeed all societies, as threatened by their
increasing multi – civilizational or multi - cultural character. For him,
the demise of the US effectively means the demise of Western
civilization. Without a powerful, uni - civilizational US, the West is, in
his view, minuscule.
Clash of Civilization
• Huntington argues that for the West to survive and prosper the US must
do two things.
• First, it must reaffirm its identity as a Western nation
• Second, it must reaffirm and reassert its role as the leader of Western
civilization around the globe.
CULTURAL
HYBRIDIZATION
CHAPTER 7: Global Culture and Cultural Flows
Introduction
Emphasizes the mixing of cultures as a result of
globalization and the production, out of the integration of
the global and the local, of new and unique hybrid cultures
that are not reducible to either local or global culture
(Cvetkovich and Kellner 1997).
“The focus is on the intergration of global
processes with various local realities to produce
new and distinctive hybrid forms that indicate
continued global heterogenization rather than
homogenization.”
What is the difference between Heterogenization
and Homogenization ?
Heterogenization Homogenization

have a certain role in the world. aims standardize culture and
intersection of the two.
Glocalization Creolization

different geographic areas. unintelligible to one another.
Hybridization
External flows interact with internal
flows producing a unique cultural hybrid
that combines elements of the two.
