摘要：This article will explore the impacts of globalisation on cultural identities and conceptualisations of social space. Using Mexican Americans as a case study, I will firstly consider the rise of the Chicano Movement; a cultural nationalist project that emerged amongst Mexican Americans in the 1960s. After examining cultural identities that emerged during this period, I will consider the subsequent rise of globalisation and how it has influenced identity-formations. I will demonstrate that Mexican Americans are reworking their identities in ways which go beyond the old cultural nationalist project towards new post-nationalist, cosmopolitan modes of identification. Parallel shifts are taking place in Mexican American constructions of social space, with nationalist conceptualisations of space now yielding to the notion of a borderlands. Lastly, I will consider how Mexican Americans’ changing views of social space are couched in different understandings of their own hybridity. I will hence attempt to produce a tentative sketch of a theory regarding the relationship between cultural hybridity and social space.
