Abstract
In this chapter, I draw on a comparative interpretation of interviews with 21 Singaporeans in Melbourne, Australia, to analyze constructions of “relational glocalities” in experiences of media and migration. This chapter reveals constructions of the self across interrelated spatial contexts (cf. Appadurai, 1996) of social relations. In particular, it identifies diverse configurations of the local in the global (Giulianotti and Robertson, 2007; Meyrowitz, 2005; R. Robertson, 1994, 1995, 2003) and the global in the local (de Block and Buckingham, 2007; Sassen, 2006).
