Cultural logic of globalisation
There is, of course, a literal translation for this term, but I'm looking for alternatives so as to avoid the frequent repetition of a word which I find awkward anyway (hybridisation / hybridization). I would be very grateful for any suggestions, the more the merrier, as it's a long article.
La **hibridización** de la trama, ya una constante en el género telenovela, obedece a factores endógenos, como la necesidad de insertarse en mercados externos- globales, pero también es una respuesta a demanda de un público local al que hay sorprender y re-capturar.

As usual Shakespeare has a word for it "The best actors in the world, either for tragedy, comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical-comical-historical-pastoral, scene individable, or poem unlimited."

blending / mixing (of genres)
A couple more ideas, since you say you want as many as possible.
"Cross-genre" is a common term for a mixed genre, and can be used as an adjective (a cross-genre film/novel):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-genre
It's certainly something you could use sometimes, but you'll have to tweak the sentence a bit to work it in as a translation of "hibridización".
Otherwise, I think the most common nouns one would use instead of hybridisation are blending of genre(s) or mixing of genre(s):

Or of course "genre-blending" if it suits you.

"Hibridización de la trama" could be "blending of genres in the plot", or "cross-generic nature of the plot", for example.

"Genre fusion" is also used, as is "genre amalgamation" or "amalgamation of genre" (or, if the context permits, simply "amalgamation").

As in: "See John A Hodgson's “The Recoil of 'The Speckled Band': Detective Story and Detective Discourse” (1992) for a more in-depth study of genre amalgamation in the Sherlock Holmes mysteries."
