Abstract
There is little doubt that we now live in a globalized world, although there is significant debate about what this means. While the term may be relatively recent, the intermixing of cultures and bodies through trade and migration – forced or not – isn’t new. European expansionism established transnational corporations, such as the British East India Company, to capitalize on new products while the forced mass migration of coloured labour through the trans-Atlantic slave trade cultivated newly colonized areas for production (see Jaggar, 2001). But long before European contact, Aboriginal people in Australia’s north were connected through fish trade with Sulawesi, and ‘sea country’ continues to be marked by these interchanges (Morphy and Morphy, 2009). What is new is how quickly and intensively ideas are taken up around the world both by individuals and by institutions.
