researching cities and capitalism. quite morbid.
-
smurph:
Morbid? How so?
-
overpills:
well, it mainly revolves around production of slums and urbanisation without development. i.e. people migrate to cities nto because there are chances created there but because they've been driven out of the rural areas..
-
smurph:
"production" and "driven" make it sound very structured...not that I'm defending the capitalists, but, as Foucault would view it, power goes both ways.
-
overpills:
yeah, i'd love to apply foucault here, but... i do believe 'driven' is the right word. not necessarily by capitalism, also war. 'production' works both ways, i don't think it implies there's an agency that produces.?

smurph:
omg - i've mentioned poststructuralism, and now my head hurts! Must go to sleep....
