Description
This essay is an attempt at a meditation on the role of oppositional cultural criticism in a globalized world where all forms of opposition seem to be foreclosed by the non-existence of any strong form of otherness; a world in which, as Thatcher so memorably put it, there is no alternative to what is. We are all familiar with the prevailing diagnosis on actually existing globalization: capitalism reigns supreme through its main agent, the market, and its ever-increasing 'immense collection of commodities'. In social life, consumerism constitutes the true universal religion: every country on the globe is different, but I am yet to see the most fantastic sight of all: a country with no shopping mall.
