GLOBALISATION
Ìý
Is globalisation a predominantly negative force? Is it synonymous with environmental destruction and big business interests or can it help mobilise otherwise disempowered social justice movements?Ìý
Laurie Taylor is joined by counter globalisation campaigner Susan George and by Mary Kaldor, Professor of Global Governance to debate the issue.
Ìý
ACADEMIC LANGUAGE
Ìý
The English have a predilection for plain speaking; works by thinkers like Jacques Derrida have been dismissed as inaccessible and unnecessarily complicated.Ìý But for many European cultures speaking or writing in the abstract isn't considered elitist.
Laurie Taylor weighs up the complexity of academic language with Susan Bassnett, Professor at the Centre for Translation and Comparative Cultural Studies.
