Mainstream
Filmoni hollywoodiani che scalzano i vecchi registri di matrice europea. Musical indiani di Bollywood che conquistano il mercato africano. Batman e Lady Gaga in una baraccopoli d'oriente. Valori difesi dalla propaganda cinese e dai media musulmani che ricordano da vicino quelli del buon vecchio Walt Disney. Fanatici di manga giapponesi in un bar italiano. Al Jazeera vista negli uffici del Pentagono e i social network nati in California che fanno fare la rivoluzioni ai ragazzi nordafricani. Sarà true as it says the French journalist Frédéric Martel, in his big book written turning to one thousand two hundred thirty countries and interviewing people, which began the new world war for control of the content. And at the heart of this new conflict lies the mainstream culture, the culture that appeals to everyone around the world. Mass culture is not necessarily "bad" - says Martel - and diversity, in particular the contribution immigrants can make movies, books and works of art more universal. He says that Americans are winning the challenge, Eastern and South American regioanali other powers are needed, the old Europeans are at stake. But then the costumes in the globalized world, consumption, the cultural systems mingle and merge. At the end you see that apart from some shepherd on the high seas, some Afghan jihad into hiding in caves, some nomadic Arctic, more or less all want the same things. The immigrants landed just can not wait to buy a house in Milan, and vote for the League Two. Korean films in the residential districts are more like the suburbs, our petty bourgeoisie. Iranian girls would love to participate in film and in a bikini beauty contest. And when our television actresses are heavy makeup to go on the air, are perfect for an audition in Bollywood. All in the same boat.
