Do Institutions Matter? Hot, Flat, and Crowded 2. The Complete Idiot's Guide to U. What's the Matter with Kansas? Who Votes Now? Why Parties? Friction: An Ethnography of Global Connection by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing Synopsis: A wheel turns because of its encounter with the surface of the road; spinning in the air it goes nowhere. Rubbing two sticks together produces heat and light; one stick alone is just a stick.
In both cases, it is friction that produces movement, action, effect. Challenging the widespread view that globalization invariably signifies a clash of cultures, anthropologist Anna Tsing here develops friction in its place as a metaphor for the diverse and conflicting social interactions that make up our contemporary world.
