Teori

Dalam buku Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Economy, Appadurai memaparkan metateori pemisahan (disjungtur). Menurutnya, "ekonomi budaya global yang baru harus dipandang sebagai tatanan yang rumit, tumpang tindih, dan terpisah".^[2] Tatanan ini terdiri dari arus budaya global yang beragam, saling terkait, namun terpisah,^[3] dan dibagi menjadi lima bagian:

1. etnoskap;
2. mediaskap;
3. teknoskap;
4. finanskap;
5. ideoskap.
