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?
