Travelling Goods // Travelling Moods: Cultural Appropriation of Foreign Goods, 1850-1950.

Symposium at the International Congress Center in Kiel, Germany, March 31 - April 2, 2011.

Chow Mein in America, Ford's Model T in Germany, Mercedes-Benz in Great Britain, British detective novels in Germany, English saddles in France, stylish shirts, woollen trousers and chic coats from Paris travelling to South America, a poncho from Mexico decorating a hall somewhere in North America.

All these instances refer to at least one phenomenon: the cultural exchange of objects. All these objects, some of them mass-produced commodities, are circulating on a global scale. At first sight, it seems that this transnational/transcultural circulation of commodities and their worldwide consumption leads to a global homogeneity. But this 'McDonaldisation' (Ritzer 1996) – which is often seen as a Westernisation of the World – is on closer examination neither exclusively a homogenization nor exclusively a Westernisation.
