Metaphors of Globalization

The document discusses metaphors of globalization using the concepts of solidity and liquidity. It describes solidity as referring to fixed landforms and man-made barriers that provide boundaries, while liquidity describes the increasing ease of movement of people, information, and goods globally. This liquidity creates flows as people, traditions, and information move more freely across borders in the modern world.

METAPHORS

OF
GLOBALIZATION
BY : MICHAEL JAMES D. CONSORTE
SOLIDITY
• People, things, information, and places “harden” over
time and therefore have limited mobility.
• Solid structures continue to be part of the world with
the increasing security at country and nationwide
borders.
TWO TYPES OF SOLIDITY

1. Land forms and bodies of water


Example: Mountains, Rivers, Oceans, Seas
2 . Man-made
Example: Great wall of China, Berlin wall, Nine-Dash line
LIQUIDITY

• Increasing ease of movement of people, things, information, and places in the


Global Age
• The globality of transactions and interactions of social networking sites is
impossible to stop.
• Global profit can be easily lost in a split-seconds decisions.
FLOWS

• Are the movement of people, things, places and information brought by


growing “porosity” of global limitations.
Example:
i. cuisines, traditions, and etc. being patronized and consumed by the
Filipinos.
ii. Illegal informations such as blogs, child pornography, immigrants recreating
ethnic enclaves in the other countries
