Justin Rosenberg's the Follies of Globalization Theory
Listen now
Description
In this episode, Eric Hsu and Louis Everuss entertain the possibility that one of the previous episodes they did wasted everyone's time. They have a chat about Justin Rosenberg's polemical argument that scholars are paying too much attention to the concept of globalization. Not only is it being used in theoretically problematic ways, perhaps it actually does not say all that much. Eric and Louis consider responses to this argument, and as always they end up talking about a lot of strange topics, like the global stardom of the Korean pop singer, Psy, why Louis hates bourbon whiskey, and how Eric once managed to get sleep at Singapore Changi airport by pushing two chairs together.
