Therefore, the book offers an explanation of how globalization emerged from cultural exchange between groups, nations, and religions. The articles in this volume register the thematically multi-dimensional and theoretically complex contribution of Polish research on globalization. Polish debates on globalization, as presented in this book, on the one hand reflect international disputes and controversies, and on the other hand address local issues. As their crucial feature, the articles in this volume exhibit a special sensitivity to historical and contemporary cultural contexts. They do not approach globalization as an abstract process, instead exploring it through the lens of clearly defined factors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  List of Figures and Tables  Notes on Contributors    Introduction: Thinking Globally    Piotr Jakub Fereński, Leszek Koczanowicz and Joanna Panciuchin    PART 1  Cultural Theory of Globalization    1 Generality and Universality in Globalization    Leszek Kopciuch    2 The Status of Global Studies and Transformations in the Social Sciences    Franciszek Czech    3 Musicology and Globalization    Bożena Muszkalska    PART 2   Cultural History of Globalization    4 Towards Historical Performatics?   Gesture as the Origin of Speech.
