CANTERO, Carlos Alvarado - et al. Globalization, local culture and border of the subject. InterSedes [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.39, pp.105-132. ISSN 2215-2458.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/isucr.v19i39.34072.

Today’s idea of the global is associated to the capitalist mode of production. However, the totality, composed of fragments (whenever we want to see it fragmented) that reproduce, and is chained or tangled up (whenever we want to see it totalized), or fragments of the modern-rational totality (neoliberal), to the articulators of a concrete totality, that of this mode of production of capitalism in crisis, that totality is, seen this way, a complex and contradictory network of fluids and fixities (places), according to Borja and Castells, (2000), fluids and fixities that articulate and disarticulate and flow to create periods of juncture and long term duration. A mode of production that, as Gruner (2002) says, defines also a mode of production of subjectivities, collective and individual. But also, non-Western concepts of totality are present, those which to modern rationality probably would be the fragments of the fragments (when we see it disarticulated), the wretched of the earth. Our work focuses on what we have called critical globalization, which incorporates the perspective of the subject that conforms the State, not only as an abstract entity, which is also a subject located, historically and socially within a particular context, which is always local and global at the same time. The last sections of the article are inscribed in the discussion about the subject in the globalized world according to the logic of the local-global, to close with our proposal of what we call man-wise, which, as a last resort, is an intend of contra-hegemonic resistance.

Keywords : Social sciences - globalization - local culture - subject borderlines - man-wise.
