From Elia Zaru <zaru.e...@gmail.com>
 

“Glocalism”, a peer-reviewed, open-access and cross-disciplinary
journal, is currently accepting manuscripts for publication. We
welcome studies in any field, with or without comparative approach,
that address both practical effects and theoretical import.

The topic of this issue:
Glocalization and Everyday Life: Constraints and Incentives

Why are some foreign foods more easily found in one local culinary
culture than another? How is it possible that a generalized
sensitivity for the environment is being introduced in various
religious cultures? What factors or assumptions (implicit or
explicit) make something like the spread of the phenomenon of legal
hybridization possible? What are the ever-changing features that
allow for the adaptation of specific television formats to national
viewers?

In addition to their obvious banality, these examples indicate one of
the most significant dimensions of glocalization as a place of the
interaction for processes, objects, practices and discourses through
which the local is continuously perceived, represented and modified
within everyday life.

In this issue of “Glocalism”, we will focus on the factors that feed
this daily production of the local in order to understand what (in an
alternative way and depending on various circumstances) facilitates,
hinders, makes possible or prevents the forms of glocalization in the
various spheres of social life.

In particular, it may be interesting to reflect on these aspects
using a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspective in order
to underline and analyze the psychological, symbolic and political
dimensions of the glocalization process from different angles.
Through a deep analysis of these complex and subtle dynamics it may
also be possible to give more substance to the idea that
glocalization – instead of being something impalpable – often regards
very common and concrete aspects in our everyday life.

Articles can be in any language and length chosen by the author
(abstract and keywords in English).

Deadline: September 30, 2020.
This issue (2020, 3) is scheduled to appear at end-November 2020.
