“…In his research on globalization, Appadurai (1996a, 3) draws on Anderson's work to talk of the media as offering new resources "for the construction of imagined selves and imagined worlds." For Appadurai, the globalization of media technologies may have shifted the balance between lived experience and imagination: people have never been as aware of possible ways of living (Hannerz 1996). We build on this critical insight that imagination is one of the central social practices influencing modern subjectivities but focus more specifically on the role of brands in this process.…”

We investigate how brand managers create regional Asian brands and show how some of them are attempting to forge new webs of interconnectedness through the construction of a transnational, imagined Asian world. Some branding managers are creating regional brands that emphasize the common experience of globalization, evoke a generic, hyper-urban, and multicultural experience, and are infused with diverse cultural referents. These types of regional Asian brands contribute to the creation of an imagined Asia as urban, modern, and multicultural. Understanding this process helps one to appreciate the role of branding managers in constructing markets and places.

“…Devido a esses fatores, os trabalhos sobre transnacionalização enfatizam menos fluxos norte-sul do que aqueles centrados no conceito objetificado de "globalização". Ulf Hannerz (1996), por exemplo, propôs o conceito de transnacionalização ao invés de globalização 6 para enfatizar o fluxo de indivíduos e de grupos, e não somente de empresas, na arena mundial. Alejandro Frigerio e outros estudiosos ampliaram o conceito.…”

“…Encontros Globais e Confrontos Culturais espaços societários diferentes" 7 ; e, em segundo, como defende Hannerz (1996), ela não está contida "dentro de um Estado", não possui uma base fixa nos Estados nacionais. Ou então, como frisaram Badie e Smouts (1995) 8 , a transnacionalização mantém fraca (ou nenhuma) relação com os aparelhos de Estado, embora isto dependa da situação legal e conjuntural que vigora em cada país.…”

O processo histórico de encurtamento das dimensões do espaço e do tempo promovido pelas novas tecnologias de transporte e comunicação, a que nos referimos quando falamos genericamente de "globalização", levou a desenvolvimentos que requerem dois tipos de atenção intelectiva. O primeiro, de cunho teórico, envolve a criação de um aparato conceitual que capacite os analistas a identificar e interpretar movimentos globais. O segundo, de cunho empírico, consiste em rastrear fluxos de pessoas, informações e recursos que passam certas vezes ao largo de esferas institucionais do Estado ou de instituições centralizadoras. As interpretações acerca das relações entre religião e globalização ganharam, nas últimas décadas, espaço no campo das ciências sociais, e poderiam se beneficiar do emprego destas duas formas de atenção. Neste artigo analisamos fluxos de missionários brasileiros de Porto Alegre em direção à Europa. Seguindo "imagens da ordem global" (Robertson, 1996) construídas especialmente no mundo evangélico pentecostal, podemos estabelecer a versão dos atores para esse fluxo, que, em grande medida, está calcada na ideia de "missão invertida".A "missão invertida" (Freston, 2004(Freston, , 2010, "evangelização ao contrá-rio" (Mary, 2008), ou "evangelização de retorno" (Trombetta, 2013) constitui um importante objeto de interesse das ciências sociais que se http://dx

Literature, moreover, identifies the shortcomings of representation in relation to the double loyalties of representatives (Srivastava 2002), the Western preferential right of interpretation (Hannerz 1996), reproduced environmental injustice (Gallardo and Stein 2007;Vos, Sapat, and Thai 2002), legitimacy challenges when specific NGOs claim to represent global civil society (Jordan and van Tuijl 2006;Mateja 2012), and power and self-determination in relation to land use (Schmidt and Peterson 2009).…”

“…Also, the relation between welloff (often self-proclaimed) representatives from developed countries and affected people in developing countries reveals a fundamental dilemma. The representatives could be seen as 'global' individuals spending many days travelling every year, developing relationships among people like themselves (Hannerz 1996). Socially, the representatives have particular organizational affiliations and often belong to the rich and highly mobile category of the world's population, while speaking on behalf of future generations or poor marginalized people that are entangled in the local (cf.…”

A sociology of environmental representation.Environmental Sociology, 2(4): [355][356][357][358][359][360][361][362][363][364] http://dx.doi.org/10. 1080/23251042.2016.1213611 Access to the published version may require subscription. N.B. When citing this work, cite the original published paper. The environment cannot plead its own case but must be represented. The aim of this paper is to elaborate on the concept of representation and demonstrate its relevance for environmental sociology. Drawing on Pitkin's classic work on representation, we discuss representation as both 'acting for' and 'standing for'. We also make a distinction between actors (representatives) and devices used as representations (e.g. descriptions, graphs and images), while discussing the intertwinement of these two aspects in representative practices. This paper stresses the performativity dimension and social embeddedness of representative practices. It sheds light on different meanings and implications of environmental representation, examining issues of claimmaking and what it means to represent the environment in various instances. Given the complex, durable and transboundary character of many topical environmental problems, the paper argues that it is essential to recognize and understand environmental representation in all its variety. It is moreover argued that a sociological elaboration of the concept of representation provides a basis for understanding the conditions for environmental politics, governance, management and action. Environmental sociology can thus be a crucial platform for intriguing new studies on environmental representation.
