全球化学者之间对于如何概念化其含义以及关于我们如何才能理解这些过程最终如何运作、交叉和改变我们的生活的认识论和方法论问题仍然存在相当大的不满。本文认为，为了更好地理解全球化是什么以及它如何影响全球健康等问题，我们必须采取差异化的方法，重点关注不同社会群体如何遭遇和了解全球化的多重进程，以及在特定背景下如何经历这些遭遇。本文探讨了定性实地研究的启发式特性，作为帮助更好地理解全球化交叉点在特定地点如何体现的一种手段。为此，本文重点关注最近针对全球化和艾滋病毒/艾滋病进行的三个案例研究，并探讨这些案例如何帮助我们理解全球化进程中涉及的背景排列。
There remains considerable discontent between globalization scholars about how to conceptualize its meaning and in regards to epistemological and methodological questions concerning how we can come to understand how these processes ultimately operate, intersect and transform our lives. This article argues that to better understand what globalization is and how it affects issues such as global health, we must take a differentiating approach, which focuses on how the multiple processes of globalization are encountered and informed by different social groups and with how these encounters are experienced within particular contexts. The article examines the heuristic properties of qualitative field research as a means to help better understand how the intersections of globalization are manifested within particular locations. To do so, the article focuses on three recent case studies conducted on globalization and HIV/AIDS and explores how these cases can help us to understand the contextual permutations involved within the processes of globalization.
