“Tsing’s (2005) idea of “friction” provides the unifying concept to express the relationship between the local and the global as it is experienced in actual life, by which globalising forces are given their concrete forms and power to affect outcomes” (Townsend 2015), hence highlighting the ‘productive’ dimension the concept encompasses in making things happen, as well as the conflicts that those processes engender.
