“…We therefore distinguish between globalization as a structural process and globalization as a symbolic discourse (cf. Chase Dunn, Kawano, and Brewer 2000;Dirlik 2000;Kayatekin and Ruccio 1998). Research has mainly focused on the first aspect of globalization as a historical trend that can be measured by such structural changes as shifts in trade patterns or flows of capital.…”

While the literature on framing has importantly expanded our understanding of frame creation and contests from an interpretive point of view, previous studies have largely neglected the structural contexts in which framing activities occur. In this study, we propose extending the framing approach by incorporating insights from the literature on sensemaking to examine how and when opportunities for meaning creation open up and how this affects subsequent discursive processes. Connecting framing and sensemaking better enables us to examine how structural factors prompt and bound discursive processes, affecting when and where frame contests emerge. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by examining changes in the discourse of globalization. Using qualitative and quantitative analyses of newspaper articles and corporate press releases, we trace the emergence of globalization discourse, its diffusion, and the increasing contention that surrounds it. Our findings show how and where globalization discourse emerged in response to greater U.S. involvement with the international economy, and how later frame contests over the meaning of globalization have depended on the interests of the actors involved.

“…). Terms like ‘neolocality’ and ‘glocalisation’ capture the self‐reflexive character of community in an era of globalisation (Kayatekin and Ruccio ; Ray ; Woods ). Communitarianism has emerged to link issues of local autonomy with the broader human search for meaning and authenticity in the modern era (Erickson ; Etzioni ; Bauman ).…”

This article develops a conceptual framework for the analysis of community that is designed to explain the complexity, diversity and changes that account for comparative community differentiation in the modern world. The concept is deconstructed into a number of constituent dimensions and dynamic processes, revealing the interrelationships between interest, normativity and identity. Contradictory processes associated with solidarity and exclusion are shown to push and pull at each other through the different dimensions. These processes are manifested in people's everyday lives, often simultaneously. This complexity is a source of both the vulnerability and the strength of communities. The article concludes with a number of diagnostic tools for deconstructing community and a three‐pronged approach for community revitalisation.

“…Callari and Ruccio, 1996). Indeed it is notable that Veyne's (1978Veyne's ( /1997 account of Foucault's work, one written in consultation with him, is very close indeed to the aleatory materialism of Althusser's later years (Navarro, 1988: 34-5), while Kayatekin and Ruccio (1998), working in that tradition, have recently explored the relation between the diverse forms of constitution of subjectivities and class politics. However Foucault's legacies are put to work, their use as raw material must proceed by way of appreciation, critique, dialogue and syntheses.…”
