How's that?

In order to analyze the linkages between the globalization and the slavery, I used the case study method to textually analyze the two major documentaries namely No Logo and The Corporation. Both these documentaries have addressed the issues of globalization and its impact I chose these two particular cases because these are amongst the two most successful works in the recent times in terms of their impact, reach and range. Also the fact that they used a documentary genre to address globalization, which itself is a popular form, encouraged me to pick these cases. I was particularly conscious of the fact that despite being so popularly anti-globalization stands, both these work did not address slavery and therefore, I chose to study, in greater details, to do an in depth study.

‘No Logo’ features Naomi Klein, an award winning Canadian journalist and activist. ‘The Corporation’ also features her with many other corporate insiders and world renowned intellectuals and researchers. I therefore saw ‘No Logo’ echoing many popular, intellectual voices featured in The Corporation and vice verca.While looking into these two films, I noted the themes, visual characterization, narration, scenes and instances of interviews which were reflective of globalization and its impact. I then related these themes and their underlying concepts with slavery, as I understood and defined in the paper, both with contemporary and historical perspectives, to analyze how the later, despite stark similarities in the operationalization , the two were not interlinked and seen as second being the manifestation of the first.

In the final analysis I parallely looked at and compared the characteristics of slavery and that of globalization to see how the first is facilitated, produced and sustained by the second.
