Language and Social Change: The Example of Globalization
Paul Hirsch
Kellogg School of Management
Northwestern University
Changes in people’s experience need to be explained so they can be understood. When this occurs there are often competing explanations and interests behind them, all seeking to influence those affected by the change. In management scholarship, an increasing interest has developed in such “framing” and “sensemaking” of large-scale developments.
In this presentation, I take the term “globalization” as an example to show how new terms and concepts are offered to explain social changes. The term “globalization” was originally presented to explain changes in world finance. It became more widely used, when selected by different groups to praise or criticize cross-border exchange and adoption of cultures, and labor market and trade practices. Today’s talk analyzes how the uses of this term changed, as reported in American newspapers. We may also discuss how the study may be expanded for other nations, to examine the evolution of new terms there as well.
