Sommario/riassunto |

This monograph develops a new socio-cognitive theory of sense-making for analyzing the creative management of situated social meaning. Drawing on cognitive-linguistic and social-interactional heuristics in an innovative way, the book both theorizes and demonstrates how embodied cognizers create complex situated conceptualizations of self and other, which guide and support their interactions. It shows how these sense-making processes are managed through the coordinated social interaction of two (or more) communicative partners.To illustrate the theory, the book draws on two distinct data sets: |

Sommario/riassunto |

"In this powerful, must-read book, Setiloane and Bangura have assembled a masterpiece that focuses on the understated consequences of globalization ranging from social media changing the landscape of in-person communication to the accelerated deaths of African languages. It also focuses on globalization's insidious impact on infant mortality-a preference for the 'modern' infant formula over traditional breastmilk-and promotion of consumerism. The book closes on a hopeful note: by weakening boundaries of statehood, globalization can lead to the resurgence of a powerful and effective Pan-Africanism for the betterment of African peoples." -James T. Gire, Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychology, Virginia Military Institute This edited volume examines the challenges of globalization in light of the need to revisit and reconceptualize the notion of Pan-Africanism. The first part of the book examines globalization and Africa's socioeconomic and political development in this century by using the Diopian Pluridisciplinary Methodology. This approach is imperative because the challenges faced by Africa vis-à-vis globalization and socioeconomic development are so multiplexed that no single disciplinary approach can adequately analyze them and yield substantive policy recommendations. The chapters in the second part analyze the imperatives for Africa's global knowledge production, development, and economic transformation in the face of the pressures of globalization. Part two demonstrates an urgent need for Africa's significant participation in the global knowledge economy in order to meet the continent's modern transformation and development aspirations. The final part examines lessons from old and new Pan-Africanism and how they can be utilized to deal with the challenges emanating from the forces of modern globalization. With its multidisciplinary approach to a wide range of pressing, modern issues for the African content, this book is essential reading for scholars |
