Arjun Appadurai

Arjun Appadurai (lahir 1949) adalah antropolog sosial-budaya kontemporer yang diakui sebagai teoriwan utama dalam studi globalisasi. Dalam karya antropologinya, ia membahas pentingnya modernitas negara-bangsa dan globalisasi.

Teori 
Dalam buku Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Economy, Appadurai memaparkan metateori pemisahan (disjungtur). Menurutnya, "ekonomi budaya global yang baru harus dipandang sebagai tatanan yang rumit, tumpang tindih, dan terpisah". Tatanan ini terdiri dari arus budaya global yang beragam, saling terkait, namun terpisah, dan dibagi menjadi lima bagian:
 etnoskap;
 mediaskap;
 teknoskap;
 finanskap;
 ideoskap.
