13. Cultural Studies in a globalizing
age? This approach makes us
ask certain questions about:

determined by the possibility of a
global market?
* Are such cultural products financed
by non-local moneys?

non-resident Indians.
*Hindi films and their popularity
in other countries where both
non-resident Indians and others
watch them.

15. Postcolonial cultural studies
must be conscious of:
*Material nature
*Marketing and symbolic values economic
gain or losses
*‘share’ of the local culture/economy
*Kind of images associated with the
object
*Globalization produces ‘hybrid’ products
and cultural values
