虚无、实在与全球化——读《虚无的全球化》

Nothing,something and globalization:on the globalization of nothing

美国社会学学者乔治·里茨尔的新作《虚无的全球化》在前有研究的基础上,结合全球现实层面的新的发展趋势,提出了分析全球化的新的理论工具——虚无,并针对罗卜逊著名的新概念——全球本地化,创造了增长全球化(grobalization)一术语,以其提供一个更平衡地描述全球化的支点。总的来说,里茨尔试图论证:增长全球化的推动力促进了虚无在全球的扩散。该书的出版,有助于使全球化理论从混乱走向有序和统一。

The Globalization of Nothing by George Ritzer conceptualises the process of globalization of ＂nothing＂,which becomes a powerful category for the analysis of the global integration.Ritzer also combines ＂grow＂ and ＂globalization＂ into ＂grobalization＂,which implies that the impetus to grow promotes the diffusion of nothing.The publication of this fascinating book offers a brand new theory that helps clarify the analysis of globaliztion.
