Download or read book El Mall written by Arlene Dávila and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While becoming less relevant in the United States, shopping malls are booming throughout urban Latin America. But what does this mean on the ground? Are shopping malls a sign of the region’s “coming of age”? El Mall is the first book to answer these questions and explore how malls and consumption are shaping the conversation about class and social inequality in Latin America. Through original and insightful ethnography, Dávila shows that class in the neoliberal city is increasingly defined by the shopping habits of ordinary people. Moving from the global operations of the shopping mall industry to the experience of shopping in places like Bogotá, Colombia, El Mall is an indispensable book for scholars and students interested in consumerism and neoliberal politics in Latin America and the world.

Download or read book America at the Mall written by Lisa Scharoun and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the construction of the first fully enclosed shopping center in 1952, the shopping mall has evolved into the heart of many suburban areas across the United States. More than simply a place to purchase goods, this veritable "temple of consumerism" has become a primary place for community and social interaction and an essential element in many citizens' day-to-day lives. This study explores the spiritual, emotional and physical effects of the enclosed shopping mall on the public, chronicling the growth of the mall, its role in shaping urban and suburban life, its positive and negative impacts on society and the environment, and its future viability. As this work shows, the mall remains rich in symbolic influence, and in many ways mirrors the American condition.

Download or read book THE MAN IN THE MALL written by PAUL BARROWS and published by Author House. This book was released on 2005-07-18 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Man in the Mall" is a book that is designed to supply solutions to an age-old problem that continues to go unresolved. The problem being that there are a lot of women who complain about the fact their man doesn't like to shop at the mall with them or anyone else for that matter! Most of the women that I spoke to came across as very annoyed and frustrated when it came to getting their man in the mall. This anger was the result of year after year of trying to get him to go shopping with her, resulting in her going to the mall by herself. All that any of these women wanted to do was to share this- outside- the- home activity with the man in their life. What a concept!This book attempts to show the highlights and lowlights of the dilemma that the shopping mall has been over the years. What few highlights that the mall has had on relationships between men and women are far out weighed by the negative ones. The history behind this battle goes back to the 60''s when the mall experience started expanding across the country. There are many things that the malls did which resulted in turning men off from shopping. It's this cause and affect that we will be delving into throughout "The Man in the Mall."There are many parts to this amalgam that we commonly refer to as the shopping mall syndrome and history would indicate that it requires a multitude of solutions to remedy. This book will reveal the solutions to such questions about going to the mall such as: When do we go? Should just the two of us go together? What size mall, and what type of store? How long should I keep him there? How do I plan this trip to the mall? Does it matter if the mall is close or far away? What department should I take him to when we get there? Is it all right to include the mall with something else? What do I do if I need a babysitter? Do I need to leave him alone, or do I stay with him? Who should drive the first time?
Download or read book Medicine Moves to the Mall written by David Charles Sloane and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shopping mall seems an unlikely place to go for health care services. Yet, the mall has become home to such services as well as a model for redesigning other health care facilities. In Medicine Moves to the Mall, David Charles Sloane and Beverlie Conant Sloane document the historical changes to our health care landscape by exploring the interactions between medicine and place. This unique combination of architectural history and the history of medicine provides a thought-provoking analysis of the geography of the practice of medicine. The book presents three essays, each accompanied by a gallery of historical and recent photos. The authors discuss the rise of modern hospitals and how they were shaped into scientifically sterile and humanly stark "medical workshops." Starting in the 1970s, hospital facilities were altered in appearance to become more friendly and welcoming. The integration of a shopping mall's spaciousness and open design with technology and scientific innovation served in "humanizing the hospital." Most recently, the accessibility and convenience of shopping center and roadside clinics have invited Americans to go "shopping for health" in the increasingly commercialized medical system. Medicine Moves to the Mall will appeal to scholars and professionals in fields ranging from health care to cultural geography and from urban studies to architectural history, as well as to readers interested in the shifting status of medicine in American society.

Download or read book Utopian Confederation From the Mall to the Stars written by Matthew E. Gladden and published by Mnemoclave. This book was released on 2024-02-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would humanity’s future look like, if the isle of Utopia had been real – and had guided the creation of a joyful global civilization free from all selfishness, competition, and discord? Utopian Confederation: From the Mall to the Stars presents such a world. In the 22nd century, human society exists not as an array of rival “states” but as a halcyon confederation of all living persons everywhere that’s voluntarily reaffirmed with each new day. Here it isn’t just material goods that are held in common: even persons’ innermost thoughts are a shared public resource, thanks to advanced neurocybernetics. Written laws and politics no longer play any role in society, as all individuals are raised to embrace a single vision for achieving the greater good – and to live it continually. Scientific inquiry and thaumaturgy go hand in hand, as human beings seek to understand (and shape) their place in the cosmos through both technological and miraculous means. And now the perfection of SQuarM reactors and the SNuP drive has allowed construction of the first vessel capable of completing an interstellar journey in decades rather than centuries. The colonies on the Moon and the “Cinnabar Planet” of Euthyphrar have already expanded the horizons of human experience – but now it’s hoped that a multigenerational voyage to the planets of Arcana Centauri might shed light on the greatest spiritual and intellectual puzzle still facing humankind: namely, is it really possible that our Solar System is home to the only life in the cosmos? Is Earth the focal point of the universe? And if intelligent life is abundant in other star systems, why have we been unable to discover any evidence of it, despite centuries of effort? The Utopian Confederation series is a game of philosophical, theological, scientific, technological, and sociopolitical exploration – and From the Mall to the Stars is the 200-page sourcebook that introduces its hopeful, pacific, and intellectually inquisitive world. In this volume, you’ll discover: • The administrative structure that organizes 21 billion human beings into communities from households and agathanias up through conurbs of millions of residents. • The ingenuity of the 200,000 persons living offworld in colonies, spacebases, and spacevessels. • Technologies like the Wellspring and the SGI Seliadne that make real-time “cognitive publication” possible. • Elements of Utopian Synergeticist thought, including ratiomysticism, thaumaturgy, hypophenomics, Iridic Bubble Theory, and the field of aetheromechany that conceptualizes the natural sciences as “applied angelology.” • The societal spheres of the pragmatic demeyne, metapsychic demeyne, and Ecclesia Peregrinans that operate in natural synchronicity. • Why money and private possessions don’t exist – but “shopping malls” play a pivotal societal role. • Cosmopraxis, axionomy, and the management of fields like housing, transportation, energy, agriculture, education, and healthcare. • Utopian aesthetics, architecture, and fashion. • The stats of the biodimensionary, aretalogue, and propellibrium, through which persons assess their own psychic strengths and failings. • SQuarM reactors, SNuP drives, HERUs, and the basics of starvessel architecture. • The cosmic enigma that is the “Imperceptance”; the nature of the Starflume Collegium; and the aims of the mission to Arcana Centauri. • The historical path from the ancient Utopian Commonwealth to the “reunification” of humanity and the Utopian Confederation of ADI 2175. • Character sheets for a group of four 22nd-century Confederation citizens.
Download or read book Kill the Mall written by Pasha Malla and published by Knopf Canada. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pasha Malla writes like a reincarnated Kafka." —Ian Williams, winner of the Giller Prize for Reproduction Douglas Adams meets David Lynch in this ingenious, witty fable about one of North America's most surreal inventions—the local mall. After writing a letter in praise of malls, our eccentric narrator is offered a residency at a shabby suburban shopping centre. His mission: to occupy the mall for several weeks, splitting his time between "making work" and "engaging the public," all while chronicling his adventures in weekly progress reports. Before long, a series of strange after-hour events rattles our hero, and he sets forth on a nightly quest to untangle the mysterious forces at play in the mall's unmapped recesses. Things quickly get hairy, and our narrator's optimism about his mall residency descends into doubt, and then into a full-blown phantasmagoria of horror and (possibly) murder. With the aid of a weird and wonderful cast of mall-dwelling misfits--including a pony named Gary--our narrator is forced to conclude that his new residence may not be the temple of consumer bliss he initially imagined, but something far more sinister. And who, or what, is benefitting from its existence? Much like the shopping centres it praises and parodies, Pasha Malla’s wildly adventurous novel follows its own internal logic, channeling its narrator’s unshakeable innocence to explore the darker edges of human (and other) nature.
