Abstract
The current era, it is often claimed, is one of big transformations. Though the processes commonly associated with ‘globalization’ are not new, the mobility of goods, information and people has never been so noticeable. This mobility is ‘profoundly transforming our apprehension of the world: it is provoking a new experience or orientation and disorientation, new senses of placed and placeless identity’ (Morley and Robins, 1995, p. 121).
