Popis: | The unstoppable expansion of commerce has invaded and now defines the new city and its citizens, whom it has converted into consumers and manipulated their power up until the point to which it has hollowed out democracy itself. Movements that oppose this trend have, in their defeat, revealed a long and now interiorised tradition of manipulation and large-scale obliteration, the multiple effects of which cannot be in any way obliterated themselves. Uncovering the omnipresence of commerce is, perhaps, today the only possible way of resisting it. |
