[PAST EVENT] CANCELLED: El Mall: The Spatial and Class Politics of Shopping Malls in Latin America
February 26, 2015
5pm - 6pm
Location
150
"In the past decade there has been a revolution in the construction of shopping malls throughout Latin America, accompanied by supposed growth in the region's middle class. My lecture examines what these coinciding developments suggest about the role shopping malls and consumption may be playing in shaping issues of class and social inequality. I investigate these questions through ethnographic research on the Latin American shopping mall industry, which privatizes and transforms space and affects everyday life, and on new forms of consumption that are defining the Latin American middle class." --Arlene Davila
