Collective human memory is a partial and imperfect repository of our encounters with one another through time. We are not good at ______ (A), let alone acknowledging, the ways that these encounters have shaped our present societies, cultures and economies. So, how did we forget?

Globalisation theorists following the sociologist Roland Robertson use the term ‘glocalisation’ to describe how local cultures ______ (B) the products of the global market and turn them into something seemingly new. Through this process, incoming goods – technologies, ideas, symbols, artistic styles, social practices or institutions – are assimilated, becoming hybrid recreations that take on ______ (C) meanings. These recreations are then redeployed as new markers of cultural or class distinction, sedimenting borrowed cultural products in the collective consciousness to the point of ______ (D). And so the global becomes local, the foreign becomes familiar, and the other becomes us. Glocalisation is how and why we collectively forget. Such is the silent trick of every single globalisation in our history: our forgetfulness of it is the method and mark of its success.

Every generation appropriates the inheritances of global exchanges and refashions them as its own. Excavating the sediments our predecessors left in our collective consciousness is not a task that we are naturally ______ (E) to perform.
