A dialectic between the global and the local in the novel We all loved cowboys, by Carol Bensimon

This paper aims to analyze how the increasing globalization is presented in the road trip novel We all loved cowboys (2013), by Carol Bensimon. The study proposes a dialogue between the global and the local in the protagonist's narrative, Cora, who reports a trip to the countryside together with her friend, after they both have lived abroad. We tried to analyze how the local space of the novel is connected to the global; the globalized characters revisiting their place of origin; the immigration issues in the central countries of globalization. The theoretical source was based on identity studies (Stuart Hall); intercultural subjects (Nestor Canclini); cosmopolitanism (Silviano Santiago); among others from the same argumentative line.
