It examines how the notion of the ‘global’ becomes a successful commodity, an important social imaginary and a valuable identity marker for these communities of privileged migrants and host country nationals. The author invites the reader on an ethnographic journey through an international school community located in Germany – illuminating the central features that define and maintain the sector, including its emphasis on ‘globality’, engagement with the concept of ‘Third Culture Kid’, and its wider contentious relationship with the ‘local’. While much attention is placed on ‘global citizenship’, international school communities experience degrees of isolation, limited mobility, over-protection and dependency on the school community– impacting their everyday lives, inside and outside the school. This book is guided by larger questions pertaining to the educationand mobilities of ‘migrant’ youths and young adults, as well as the notion of what it means to be ‘global’ today.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | International school; Global Imaginary; Education and ethnography; Local and education; Education and pl | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-72744-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-72746-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-72744-4 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
