Revealing the Elements of Popular Culture in the Coffee Shop Industries in Tembalang Sub-District, Semarang

Coffee Shop is not only a commodity in the process of economic development. It is also a part of popular culture, particularly for those who adore looking for leisure time and a new consumptive and dynamic identity. Starbucks coffee culture has been becoming a parameter of popular coffee culture almost worldwide, including in Indonesia. Tembalang is one of the sub-districts in Semarang that provides a lot of coffee shops, both modern and semi-modern coffee shops, that have become a manifestation of popular culture. The main issues in this research are why the new coffee culture is developed among coffee shop industries and how the coffee shops show a new identity by embracing parts of the global coffee culture. The qualitative method is applied to examine the research problem that focuses intensely regarding social and cultural phenomena in the coffee shop industries in Tembalang. Data sources are obtained through reviewing related academic literature and material from the trusted social media. The aim of the research is to reveal the popular culture reflected in production and consumption among coffee shops and coffee drinkers. By this analysis, the writer has examined that coffee shops in Tembalang carry out a process of glocalization and creolization in adopting a global coffee culture. Yet, it still points out the value of the local culture.

IN-BETWEEN SOUND AND LANDSCAPE: INTERCOMMUNITY INNOVATIONS AND SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH DREE FESTIVAL AMONG THE APATANI PEOPLE OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH

This paper has developed over a span of four years since I first visited Ziro valley in 2017, guided by reflections and insights that I came upon while revisiting the field in recent years in the Lower Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh. The dree ritual was historically an individual household ritual for Apatani people who owned cultivable land for better crops and good harvest before 1967. However, presently Dree is celebrated in a common ground and all villages come together to celebrate it. Through this ethnomusicological study with active fieldwork participation, archiving and tools borrowed from historical ethnomusicology, I have attempted at studying the gradual shift of ritual space within the Apatani community leading to an emerging performing space which is able to accommodate and nurture the diverse range of cultural practices of miji-migung (oral tradition) traditions, traditional dance forms, story-telling and other friendly sports for recreation within the celebration of an egalitarian Dree festival. Diary entries from C.V.F Haimendorf ’s field notes on “Drii”2 helped me to conceptualize further the drastic change in the structure and historical location of the Dree ritual and the specific role played by the Nyibu (ritual specialist and performer of miji) within the Apatani community. Dree festival among the patanis has projected a history where the feeling of nationalism and identity in post-independent India is being not only practised but also been creating a new emerging performance space and soundscapes among the Apatani people of Arunachal Pradesh, which could be better conceptualized as a process of glocalization and inter-community sustainability.

Иностранный профессорско-преподавательский состав в контексте интернационализации Университета Ганы

This article is devoted to the study of internationalization strategy of the University of Ghana as well as character-ization by visiting scholars of their work at the International Faculty of the University. The paper draws the boundaries between such processes as globalization and internationalization, and also defines the areas of their functioning. The authors turn their attention to the process of glocalization associated with the introduction of a local element, without which the promotion of global processes can be difficult to apply. The paper indicates the reasons for the transformations in higher education, identifies strategic goals and discusses ways to achieve these goals. The article describes the need for internationalization of universities, in general, and the University of Gha-na, in particular. Further, the paper considers priority areas related to partnerships with other universities, attract-ing and recruiting freelance specialists from foreign countries, and creating student and teacher exchange pro-grams. International university teachers from Africa and Europe were interviewed. The study highlights the par-ticular interest in recruiting of international university teachers who have taught and continue to teach at various higher education institutions around the world, and therefore are highly qualified professionals with experience. Exchange with their experiences is in demand by many universities, since, while they are accumulating their own experience in a foreign institution, simultaneously they pass it on to colleagues and students. Our article further focuses on ways that can improve activities of the University of Ghana and overcome difficulties and characteriz-es the advantages and disadvantages of the work of the faculty with students. The paper also presents the results of a survey of respondents, where the international faculty assessed their stay and teaching at the University of Ghana. The results of the applied method of interviewing the international faculty (the object of study) will be-come the key to understanding the problems and solving the issues related to the internationalization of higher education in general (subject of study). The opinions of the respondents will be made available to the manage-ment of the University of Ghana. They may also influence the educational processes of other universities, since the University of Ghana is one of the leading institutions of higher education in the country and Africa, and a leader in the internationalization of education and in modern scientific approaches to teaching

Peculiarities of the Development of the Glocalization Process as a Specific Regional Mechanism of Globalization

The purpose of the article is to analyze the development of the glocalization process as a result of globalization, to determine its levels and forms. Analyzing, systematizing and summarizing the scientific works of many scientists, the positive and negative manifestations of globalization and post-globalism were considered. It has been proven that these systems did not live up to the hopes placed on them. In this regard, world society was forced to look for new forms of interaction. This led to the use of the next stage of post-globalization – glocalization – an inextricable combination of global and local (regional). As a result of the study, the main points of view on the glocalization process were considered, the main approaches to the research of the glocalization process were presented. It is suggested that glocalization should be understood as a dynamic process of the interaction of the local and the global, when the elimination of global processes to the local level (localization) takes place with the simultaneous exit of local processes to the global level (globalization). The dual nature of glocalization is emphasized and schematically presented. It is proved that the term “glocalization” should be considered as a specific regional mechanism of globalization, which is tied to the development of a certain territory with its characteristic historical, geographical, ethno-cultural and other features. The main elements of the glocalization mechanism are presented, in particular, the goal, object, subject, subject, motive, infrastructure, basis, prerequisites, principles. Together with the hybrid phenomenon of “glocalization”, a number of other terms were considered, which, like glocalization, have an adjacent polarity (quasi-polarity), that is, between globalization and localization, centralization and decentralization, integration and fragmentation: “haord”, “fragmegration”, “regkal” “. A conclusion was made about the relevance of the development of the glocalization process in modern conditions. Keywords globalization, glocalization, integration, post-globalism, hybrid.

The Concept of Business and Human Rights in the Context of Current Global Trends

The article is devoted to the concepts of business and human rights in metamodernism era (postpostmodern), when the contradictory processes of globalization and glocalization of economical and legal relations simultaneously create new opportunities and challenge the actuality and effectiveness of legal mechanisms of promotion of human rights in business field.It is emphasized that despite some progress in promoting the concept of business and human rights,the question whether international and national law is able to oblige businesses to sustain humanrights remains relevant. It is determined that the concept of business and human rights is based onthe categories of public interest, which is realized and taken into account by voluntary commitmentand implementation of relevant obligations of business entities and positive obligations of the statein the field of human rights. The article analyzes political and economic global trends and challenges which influence theconcept of business and human rights. Increasing asymmetry and inequality, changes in the systemof international economic institutions, especially financial, development of digital technologies,contradictory processes of integration and disintegration, expansion of illegal business and migration,the phenomenon of “Black Swans,” global economic crises and the covid -19 pandemic areprompting the necessity to provide sustainable development and social responsibility to business.Emphasis is placed on raising the level of awareness of business about the necessity and expediencyof observing human rights standards not only for ethical reasons, but also as a means of improvingtheir own success and competitiveness.The article also examines the main trends in the development of law which occur under the influenceof globalization and the demand for a new social contract, such as socialization, anthropologizationand ecologization of law, increasing the impact of crises, conflicts, pandemics on the content of law,expanding the scope and range of legal issues. changing the ratio of international and national legalregulation, changes in the subject area, raising the topics of non-state and global law, convergenceof public and private, changes in the system of sources of international law, blending of legal andnon-legal forms of regulation.It is emphasized that one of the trends in the development of international regulation of businessresponsibility in the field of human rights is the demand for more “strict” legal regulation, but thequestion is the realism and effectiveness of “strengthening” the legal force of international acts aboutbusiness responsibility in the field of human rights.The opinion on its own regulatory value of norms of soft law in the given sphere is expressed.

“Glocalization” in medical education: A framework underlying implementing CBME in a local context

The implementation of competency-based medical education is a social construction process within a local and cultural context. However, little is known about the process of adaptation to different systems, known as "glocalization". We analyzed the documents in the development of a milestone project from adapting global standards into a local context and identified a framework underlying this process. Taiwan Society of Emergency Medicine (TSEM) had developed learning milestones based on the ACGME's version through series of consensus methods including committee work, nominal group technique (NGT), and a modified Delphi method. We applied qualitative content analysis to characterize the evolution of the three versions of TSEM and the original ACGME milestones documents and to explore the meaning behind the differences revealed by the glocalization process. We found 48 differences between ACGME and TSEM milestones. Among these differences, one was made by committee work, 44 came from NGT, and 3 were from the modified Delphi process. Two themes and seven sub-themes emerged from the coding process to explain the contextualization process of the milestones. We identified a framework that incorporates local expression and local needs into the process called glocalization through which global models of competency-based standards could be optimally implemented in a local context with different systems and cultures.

The glocalization of the shared society concept in Israel

AbstractIn November 2008, the Madrid Club's Shared Societies Project published “A Call to Action for Shared Societies” (Club de Madrid 2009). It included a list of commitments, among them, creating opportunities for consultation of minorities, monitoring structures and policies, etc. (ibid, p. 37). The present article seeks to Follow the glocalization process of the principles and describe the ways the concept of “shared society” reached Israeli civil society Describe these through the example of one conference. Follow narratives regarding the “birth of the concept’ Explore the dissemination strategies. Understand the different interpretations attached to it and compare them to the parallel global discourse Describe the implementations and/or rejections. Explore the challenges involved. (While the Club de Madrid recommendations were written to serve governments, in Israel, they were used mainly by civil society organizations, sometimes in cooperation with local authorities. The Israeli government was nor particularly interested in the principles, which was one of the reasons the Club de Madrid ceased its work in the country around 2015).

Ethnomodelling as a glocalization process of mathematical practices through cultural dynamism

Ethnomodelling can be considered as the association between ethnomathematics and mathematical modelling that enables members of distinct cultural groups to perceive a different reality in relation to the nature of mathematical knowledge. It also provides insights into many diverse forms of mathematics developed locally. Thus, ethnomodelling is defined as the study of mathematical phenomena that adds cultural components to the modelling process. The development of this connection is conducted through three cultural approaches: local, global, and glocal, which are used in the conduction of ethnomodelling investigations that aim to work against colonialism in order to value and respect sociocultural diversity of members of distinct cultural groups. Because ethnomodelling seeks to promote the development of understanding of differences through dialogue; it is important to argue for its inclusion as a translational process for systems taken from the reality of the members of diverse cultures. In this article we argue that ethnomodelling creates a firm foundation that allows for the integration of these three cultural approaches in exploring mathematical knowledge developed in distinct cultural groups through cultural dynamism.

The Glocal World of Historical Archives

In 2021, we commemorate 500 years since the fall of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan and the subsequent foundation of Mexico City by the Spanish. That event had a huge impact on world history, not only in terms of redefining Atlantic connections but also by setting in motion a complex series of glocalization processes. In this editorial that introduces a monographic issue on the “glocal world of historical archives”, we take a cue from that event in our effort to analyze the underground networks and the sometimes-mysterious intertwining that connect apparently distant documentary sources. We propose that the historical experience and the practical use of archives are not minor problems in a glocal approach: thinking about the glocal (and changing) complexity of archives as the core theme of historical research. This concerns all hermeneutic and holistic views of social investigation that must discuss the configuration of archives as another crucial element of the contemporary age, in search of the secret connections between past, present, and future.

Gang in translation: Official and vernacular representations of a “Roma” drug gang in Czechia

This study focuses on the social construction of gangs in Czechia. Although the country is not usually associated with the activities of street gangs, the adoption of gang representations is evident in this context, including the use of the gang label itself. In order to capture the gang glocalization process, I employ the concept of translation, whereby glocalization is conceptualized as a complex process of the transposition of symbols based on the constant assessment and negotiation of the formed equivalent in the new discursive context. This approach allows us to understand the similarities and differences between how gangs are labelled not only across various cultural contexts, but also within them, with a honed analytical focus on the discursive strategies of the actors being studied. The concept of glocalization as translation is illustrated using the example of the Novák collective operating in a marginalized urban area in Czechia. While official discourse characterized this collective as an international drug gang, this construction was entirely absent in the discourse employed by the residents of the area. This discrepancy explains the gang construct within Czech public discourse as an equivalent of organized and sophisticated crime which automatically excludes certain ethnic groups by definition.

Language, identity and unintelligibility: A case study of the rap group Higher Brothers

The Chengdu-based quartet Higher Brothers recently became the first China-born hip hop group to gain global fame. As rap music – originally a local, ethnic African American culture in the United States – has been continually relocalized all over the world and thus globalized, the Higher Brothers have undergone another process of glocalization. This presents a new case study to further examine the dynamics between the global and the local. Because rap is an intensely verbal art, this article explores how the Higher Brothers construct and negotiate their complicated and multiple (local, national and global) identities from the perspective of language. It analyses the language used in their songs – Sichuan Chengdu Mandarin, Standard Mandarin (Putonghua) and English – before and after they signed with 88rising, the media company that brought the group to the West. Due to the rappers’ distinctive ways of vocal production, many of their trap-style songs prove hard to understand not only for global audiences but also for most Chinese national audiences and even for the quartet’s local audiences. Drawing on recent studies of mumble rap, this article explores the politics and sonic aesthetics of unintelligibility of the Chinese trap music.

Transformation of business architecture as a result of globalization and glocalization processes

Research background:Globalization and glocalization processes undeniably have a major impact on the building and innovation of business architecture. The contribution is aimed at studying the effect of these processes on selected elements of business architecture, such as organizational and management structures, enterprise management, including strategic management and decision-making.

Russian State Agrarian Policy in the Context of Modern Globalization and Glocalization Processes: Implementation Features at the Regional Level

The purpose of this article is a political analysis of modern processes of globalization and glocalization and their impact on the development and implementation of state agrarian policy in the regions of the Russian Federation. The use of the structural-functional method made it possible to identify the structural problems of the implementation of the regional agrarian policy in the conditions of modern globalization and glocalization processes and to develop the main directions of its implementation, where one of the problems is the insufficient provision of social infrastructure in rural areas. The study used a general scientific methodology: analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction, the use of comparative methodology made it possible to carry out a comparative analysis of the agricultural potential of various regions of the Russian Federation and to differentiate the problems of the agro-industrial complex. The article studies the concept of glocalization, identifies the globalization problems of the development of Russian agriculture, and studies the regional features of the implementation of the state agrarian policy. The role and place of the state agrarian policy in the structure of the socio-economic policy of the Russian state is determined.

The search for a new development strategy of a regional institute of culture in conditions of glocalization

This article examines current problems of strategizing an institute of culture considering the process of glocalization, as a regional response to global challenges. Conditions of new regionalism associated with the growing role of local territories (regions, cities, districts) and increased attention to their socio-cultural identity promote the pursuit of optimal ways to integrate a regional institute of culture and arts into global processes. As a result it becomes necessary to form a new model for a regional institute of culture in particular, the Samara State Institute of Culture and a cultural and philosophical understanding of the issues involved.

Роль культурной памяти в конструировании коллективной идентичности

Analyzed are collective identification processes that occur in conjunction with complicated, contradictory processes of glocalization, cultural exchange, emancipation of minorities, national liberation movements, etc. The paper aims to study the collective identity construction in the modern society, using the framework of cultural memory. Links between collective memory and collective identity are theoretically considered; the methodology of “imagined communities” is proposed to explore the collective memory as a resource of social integration. The article argues that the nation state is no longer the dominant basis for identity. Nowadays collectives require a shared memory of the past as the basis for social identity. The paper focuses on a high symbolic value of a remembering history, especially of a cultural trauma. The culturally constructed trauma can appear on the level of groups, and provide integration of community, based on victimization of the past. Thus, the collective traumatic memory can develop a negative collective identity, based on common traumatic experiences. Viewed from “imagined communities” perspective, social trauma is a part of politics of memory that becomes the politics of identity. Using results of sociological research, we distinguish three different versions of memorial paradigm, i.e. oblivion, displacement, and evocation. Such differentiation allows to argue that communities could manage their collective memory as a resource of social identification, and consequently integration.

Эволюция репрезентации народной художественной культуры в кино

In the presented article, the features of the reflection of folk art culture in the cinema are considered. The author examines films that reflect the folk art culture of the American Indians, Udege, meadow mari, residents of the village of Palekh, as well as the folk art culture of the colonial countries, China and Japan. This article examines the films of both foreign and Russian directors, as the author refers to global trends in cinema. The author identifies several stages, considering the evolution of folk art culture, starting from films of the early twentieth century and ending with modern cinematography: “Folk art culture in early films. Ethnographic cinematography”, “Criticism of the urban industrial space in the cinema of the 20s. XX century»,»Colonial cinema», «Postcolonial cinema», «Cultural appropriation», «Orientalism», «Transnational culture in the postmodern era», «Cinematography of the metamodern». Based on the material of Russian and foreign films, the author notes that folk art culture is manifested in both documentary and fiction cinematography. The author concludes that folk art culture was reflected in the cinema at every stage of its historical development. The author notes that in modern cinema the topic of folk art culture has not simply lost its relevance, but has become one of the most relevant trends in connection with the processes of glocalization in the culture of the 21st century. Each stage considered by the author has its own specific features and reasons for the display of folk art culture. The article describes the main ways of representing folk art culture in cinema – folklore, traditional textiles, embroidery, folk songs.

Этнические традиции в социокультурном пространстве Северного Кавказа

Theoretical understanding of the role of ethnic traditions in the ethnic identity formation, the organization of cultural space, the development of a methodology for their study in various socio-cultural conditions are of particular relevance in modern society. The processes of glocalization, regionalization of cultural space are aimed at preserving the uniqueness of ethnic cultures through the study and promotion of the best national traditions in material and spiritual culture. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of ethnic traditions in the cultural genesis of the peoples of the North Caucasus. The following tasks are being solved: the study of ethnic traditions as a mechanism for transferring socio-cultural experience in various historical and cultural conditions, as well as the study of the regional cultural space in the context of the communicative functions of ethnic culture. The scientific novelty of the study is provided due to the methodology of historical cultural studies, which explores both macrodynamic historical and cultural processes and core microdynamic stages of cultural formation.
