1.Summary
The globalization and localization of “things” is represented in various ways in literature and culture. Globalization is often seen as a modern phenomenon, but it has actually advanced, slowly but surely, since the Age of Discovery. This workshop explores how chocolate, photographs, Girlhood Magazine, and Madeira Wine have historically developed from local into global things, or from global into local things, and how they have been represented in literature and culture.
Keywords: Transnational, movement of “things,” representation
