Arjun Appadurai is an influential Indian anthropologist known for his work on globalization, culture, and modernity. He explores how cultures interact and change in a globalized world, emphasizing concepts like "scapes"—the flows of people, technology, and ideas across borders. His ideas help us understand how local cultures adapt to and resist global influences, shaping identities and communities in diverse ways. Appadurai’s insights are vital for discussions about cultural diversity, migration, and the impact of global economics on everyday life. His work encourages a deeper understanding of the complexities of cultural interactions in our interconnected world.
