Análisis muy interesante sobre la globalización y el urbanismo. Muy interesante de leer desde una perspectiva del biopoder.
safrage's review against another edition
1.0
This is one of the most painful reads I've ever done on the topic of globalization. There was no clear indication of specificity and overall a weak sense of generalized views. There was at times seemingly repetitive argle-bargle of an assumptive nature, for example by tying art history and the usage of perspective to societal shifts in individuals' manner of organizing their lives.
Yet overall, its commentary about locality, space, and the presence of powerholders was inspirational and interesting. The aspect of class throughout this discussion was both interesting, but while certain passage seemed riddled with never-ending platitudes, I’d have liked to see clearer definitions of who the author consider belonging to the upper and lower classes. The lack of distinctions felt like a waste of explanation. They seem mostly defined by how they act in terms of movement and space, which leaves little to individuals non-class related preferences and variations.
