/468/ Reading Club: Place 4 – Harvey
from Bungacast · host Bungacast
On David Harvey's The Condition of Postmodernity (1989). [Patreon Exclusive - subscribe at patreon.com/bungacast] We focus in particular on Part III: The Experience of Space and Time – and reflect on the general themes of this section. The central question is: How do we rescue a sense of ‘place’ – in a political, forward-looking and future-oriented way – after the age of globalisation? The age of globalisation generated and emphasised placelessness. But if oppositional struggles need to start from a definite place, where is that? And how do they not get restricted by that same sense of place – that is, not becoming particular, nostalgic or backward-looking? And if walls are now being put up, halting globalisation, then does this provide a more propitious scenario for struggle?
