Syllabus The global movement of peoples resulting in cultural and economic exchange, and also domination, has an extremely long history; however, contemporary understandings about globalisation often focus on the gradual increase in international political and economic organisation since 1970s, alongside developments in communications technology, and the impact of changes brought about by the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s. This unit introduces a sociology of globalisation, exploring some of the cultural, political and economic elements of social organisation in the globalising world, and critically examining the ways that experiences and understandings of globalisation may differ according to social and cultural context. Key topics include: theories about globalisation; political and economic organisation in a globalising world; cultural and migration flows; diversity and social inequality; and the impact of globalisation on work, community and the environment.

Introduction This unit introduces a sociology of globalisation, exploring some of the cultural, political and economic elements of social organisation in a globalising world, and critically examining the ways that experiences and understandings of globalisation may differ according to social and cultural context. In keeping with our focus on ethnographic processes in Anthropology and Sociology, we will also explore aspects of material culture in a globalising world through the practice of doing an object biography.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Capabilities through the assurance of learning processes in each unit.

http://clt.curtin.edu.au/

Our focus in this unit is on examining some of the many aspects of social organisation in a globalising world. The content is presented via a one-hour recorded weekly lecture that focuses on a single aspect of globalisation, together with a set of activities that will help you further develop your understanding of the topic. This material will be drawn from written and visual texts about cultural, political and economic organisation, examining the evidence and the assumptions that frame how different theorists make knowledge about globalisation. The weekly activities, which are outlined on a worksheet uploaded to the Discussion Board topic thread each week, include doing readings, watching short videos and completing short fieldwork tasks, all of which will help you better understand the topic content and see how knowledge about globalisation is socially constructed and highly positional.

Each week, after listening to the recorded lecture and completing the weekly reading/s and activities, you will be required to post a reflective response on the relevant Discussion Board thread. This kind of practice is very useful in developing your analytical skills and techniques and will help you in researching and writing academic papers, including the essays you complete for this unit. In posting on Discussion Board, you should make an effort to engage with your classmates’ posts and your tutor, helping to create a more dynamic learning experience for everyone.

You will further develop your understanding of ethnographic practices by examining globalisation through the lifeworld of an object of material culture.

2. Fieldwork exercise (30%) Task description

As ethnographers, one of the ways we can understand globalisation is by considering aspects of everyday life and material culture that are shaped by the political, economic and cultural forces of globalisation. For this assignment, which builds from the fieldwork training exercises we do in class and online, you will choose an object of material culture, such as a product we eat or drink, or something we wear or use in everyday life, and conduct an ethnographic exercise to observe and analyse this object in use. You will conduct this study by completing the following steps:

Step 1: Choose an object of material culture that you would like to study. Please make sure to choose an object from your own life or family/cultural experience.

Step 2: Conduct a short field-work study, in two settings, to observe how the object is used or consumed locally. The act of observing a practice is a very focused form of doing ethnographic research and, as with all research activity, it is important to document this. You should make detailed field notes about the circumstances of the observed practice in each setting (location, time, day, setting, people, mood, your impressions), and also what you observe happening over the period of each observation. For example, if you decide to do a biography on coffee, you might observe a context in which people drink coffee (for example, in a café, or in the home). Make notes about what people do, how they use the object, and how the object seems to function - socially, materially, and culturally.

Step 3: After you have completed your fieldwork observations, read through your field notes to make sense of what you have observed. What do your fieldnotes reveal about the social and cultural significance of the object you have observed? What does this tell you about the culture in which the object is being used? The answers to questions like these will help you form an analysis of your findings.

Step 4: Write a report of your fieldwork study. This should include the following:

l an introduction about the object of material culture you have chosen to study and your motivation for choosing to study it

l an outline of your fieldwork design and observation activities l an analysis of the main findings, derived from your fieldnotes l a discussion of what your findings reveal about the social and cultural significance of the object of

material culture l a copy of your fieldwork notes, included as an Appendix

References

This task is based on a fieldwork exercise, and there is no mimimum requirement for references. However, any sources cited in your fieldwork report should be included, along with a full end of text reference list, using Chicago referencing format.

Assignment length

Your fieldwork report should be 1,000 words in length, not including a reference list or appendices.

Submit via Turnitin


One assessment submission point is provided and you may submit to this point only once. A Similarity report will be generated at the time of submission. Your submitted file will be marked.


3. Object biography (45%)





Task description

Working with the same object of material culture you observed in the field for Assessment 2, you must research and write a biography of the lifeworld of that object. To do this, you will do library research to compile and analyse text-based information on the contexts in which the object of material culture is produced, traded, used, and discarded, globally. You will do this by completing the following steps.

Step 1: Do a library search for information related to the way that your object is produced, including the following kinds of information:

l how its production impacts the lives of the people who produce it l how it affects the environment and communities in which it is produced l the economic and social practices that shape the way the object is traded, and also discarded.

Step 2: Read relevant books, journal papers and media sources, and make notes about the content, including your responses to what you are reading and your own ideas and understandings about it.

Step 3: Write up your object biography, making sure to include information and analysis derived from asking the following questions:

l Where and how is the object produced? l Who produces it? l How is it used and considered by the people who produce it? l How is it traded, both locally and globally? l Who controls the trade and who benefits most from the trade? l What impact does its production and trade have on physical, social and cultural environments,

locally and/or globally?

Your object biography essay should include the following sections:

l An opening paragraph that introduces the object you are studying, and how your essay will be organised.

l A series of body paragraphs that outline and critically discuss the circumstances under which the object is produced, traded, consumed and discarded, with a focus on the social, cultural and environmental impact of these aspects of the lifeworld of the object.

l A conclusion that rounds off the discussion by drawing together the main points discussed in the body of the essay. This closing section should sum up your findings on the lifeworld of the object you have studied and, where possible, make connections back to the observation study you did in Assessment 2.

References

You should include reference to at least 8 sources, at least half of which must be from peer-reviewed scholarly articles or books from within the Social Sciences, along with other text-based sources, either audio or visual. These can be drawn from print or online media sources, such as news articles, podcasts or documentary videos, if they are relevant to your biography. All sources must be included in a Reference list at the end of your essay, presented in Chicago referencing style.

Assignment length

Your object biography should be 1,200 words in length, not including the reference list.

Submit via Turnitin


One assessment submission point is provided and you may submit to this point only once. A Similarity report will be generated at the time of submission. Your submitted file will be marked.






Pass requirements

There are two requirements to achieve a 'pass' grade in the unit.

1. An overall mark of 50% across the different assessments in the unit; and 2. All assessments must be attempted and submitted.

Failure to attempt and submit an assessment will result in a 'Fail-incomplete' grade for the unit irrespective of the mark achieved.

Assessment Moderation Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that students work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessments are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/findapolicy/

Pre-marking moderation

l Assessment task details are provided to students in the unit outline or prior to the assessment task l Marking criteria are made available to students in the unit outline or when the assessment task is assigned l Assessors are provided with rubric/marking guide and sufficient information to ensure fair and consistent

evaluation of student work

Intra-marking / Post-marking moderation

l Second marking of student work samples near grade boundaries l Second marking of borderline student work

Late assessment

Where the submission of a late assessment is permitted, late penalties will be consistently applied in this unit.

Where a late assessment is permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension:

1. For assessment items submitted within the first 24 hours after the due date/time, students will be penalised by a deduction of 5% of the total marks allocated for the assessment task;

2. For each additional 24 hour period commenced an additional penalty of 10% of the total marks allocated for the assessment item will be deducted; and

3. Assessment items submitted more than 168 hours late (7 calendar days) will receive a mark of zero.

Where late assessment is NOT permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension:

1. All assessment items submitted after the due date/time will receive a mark of zero.





http://policies.curtin.edu.au/findapolicy/

Assessment extension

Where an application for an assessment extension is permitted for an assessment item(s) within this unit (refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline):

1. A student who is unable to complete an assessment item by/on the due date/time as a result of exceptional circumstances beyond the student’s control, may apply for an assessment extension on the Assessment Extension Application Form as prescribed by the Academic Registrar.
