Towards an Ethnology of Globalization?
The question we examine in this article points out to a double problem. First, the notion of globalization despite its current use is still not well defined. Second, globalization presents a challenge for ethnology which was traditionally the champion of the local. To talk about this double problem, we will first consider the notion of globalization as processes which frame our reality. Then we will attempt to better understand the methodological challenge lying in the notion of an ethnology of globalization. To that end, we will put forward three axes which could allow us to grasp the trends of globalization. The goal of this article is to bring to the surface the questions and problems that emerge with the idea of an ethnology of globalization that takes into account global movements and the impact of globalization processes on different localities.
