Detailed explanation-1: -Nestor Garcia Canclini explains hybridization using three processes: “The mixing of collections that used to organize cultural systems, the deterritorialization of symbolic processes, and the expansion of impure genres”.

Detailed explanation-2: -hybridity: new transcultural forms that arise from cross-cultural exchange. Hybridity can be social, political, linguistic, religious, etc. It is not necessarily a peaceful mixture, for it can be contentious and disruptive in its experience.

Detailed explanation-3: -Where two cultures are combined, new, different forms of culture emerge. These are known as cultural hybrids. Cultural hybridity is very much linked to the globalisation process, which as we saw earlier refers to the spread of western ideas and culture.

Detailed explanation-4: -Language and music are the most common examples of hybridization in the globalized world. Many African countries speak french and mix it in with their native language, creating new lexicon. US pop music mixing with South Korean music such as K-pop group, South Korean boy band BTS symbolizes cultural hybridization.
