Manfred B. Steger¿s extensive body of work on globalization has made him one of the most
influential scholars working in the field of global studies today. His conceptualization of the
global imaginary is amongst the most significant developments in thinking about globalization
of the last three decades. Revisiting the Global Imaginary pays tribute to Steger¿s
contribution to our intellectual history with essays on the evolution ontological foundations
and methodological approaches to the study of the global imaginary. The transdisciplinary
framework of this field of enquiry lends itself to investigation in diverse sites. This volume
of essays explores practices associated with the reproduction of the global imaginary in such
diverse sites as mobile money Irish pubs cyber-capitalism urban space music in
post-apartheid South Africa and global political movements amongst others.
