Keywords:
Adichie, Africa, StereotypeAbstract
Cultural studies are a field that gives us the possibility of observing and analyzing what it is happening around us in a more humanistic way. This present article aims to observe in the lecture how people, in general, have the tendency of creating stereotypes of places, peoples, cultures and so forth, through a single story that we were told. Also, how globalization may influence in it, since it is known that the world is in a constant movement and it is possible to observe people leaving their own countries for different reasons. Stuart Hall, Nestor Canclini and Homi Bhabha are the chosen authors to make this analysis possible. All of these elements will be analyzed in the lecture called “The danger of a single story” made by the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
