AB Globalisation is a buzz word in many discussions of current social and communicative change,where it resounds in different voices and in various keys. The present paper looks at someglobalizing tendencies of today from the perspective of some ideologies and practices, whetherpast or present, including universalism (and relativism), (anti-)intellectualism, and the pos-tulates of (non-)rhetorical research writing. The role of English as academic lingua franca isdiscussed against the pressures for new ventriloquation. This is done from the perspectiveof Polish, a “minor” linguistic and academic community, with special attention to the situ-ation of English studies. An argument is put forward that a major effect of globalization isthe rise of reverse, localizing, ideologies and practices.
