Cultural Imperialism versus globalization of culture riding the structure agency dialectic in global communication and media studies
Sociology Compass, 2011Co-Authors: Christof DemontheinrichAbstract:This article discusses and analyzes the dialectic between so-called Cultural Imperialism and globalization of culture perspectives in global communication and media studies. At an extreme, Cultural Imperialism is cast as the international extension of the long-discredited hypodermic needle theory which views Cultural consumers as passive automatons. At the other end of the extreme, the globalization of culture perspective is cast as a wildly postmodern standpoint in which free-floating individuals are said to be able to make an infinite set of localized meanings from Cultural products. There has been a growing trend among many global communication and media scholars to locate a productive middle ground between Cultural Imperialism and globalization of culture. In this author’s view, the most effective melding of the two perspectives would situate local, creative appropriation of Cultural objects against the backdrop of larger, hegemonic regional and global macro-forces. This approach ought also to acknowledge the many complexities that characterize the intersections among globalization, culture, and media, including the ways in which the local, national, regional, and global constitute one another and the ways in which resistance to local hegemony can paradoxically fuel national or global hegemony.

beyond Cultural Imperialism Cultural theory christian missions and global modernity
History and Theory, 2002Co-Authors: Ryan DunchAbstract:“Cultural Imperialism” has been an influential concept in the representation of the modern Christian missionary movement. This essay calls its usefulness into question and draws on recent work on the Cultural dynamics of globalization to propose alternative ways of looking at the role of missions in modern history. The first section of the essay surveys the ways in which the term “Cultural Imperialism” has been employed in different disciplines, and some of the criticisms made of the term within those disciplines. The second section discusses the application of the Cultural Imperialism framework to the missionary enterprise, and the related term “colonization of consciousness” used by Jean and John Comaroff in their influential work on British missionaries and the Tswana of southern Africa. The third section looks at the historiography of missions in modern China, showing how deeply the teleological narratives of nationalism and development have marked that historiography. The concluding section argues that the missionary movement must be seen as one element in a globalizing modernity that has altered Western societies as well as non–Western ones in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and that a comparative global approach to the missionary movement can help to illuminate the process of modern Cultural globalization.
