Greta gave us a very interesting lecture today on the concept of reality and Utopias. She gave us movie clips and examples that included a clip from the Truman show. This concept really made me think about the idea of disneyization and such.
‘From Places to non –places’ reading:
- Ideology=2 similar but different realities: spaces that relate to ends and looks at thought and means of travel in between/ the relationship that people have to their destination
- Place is reality
- Non Place is the individual relationship one has with their self when on this journey – reflecting/ meditating on it
- Non places are the spaces that we can’t always get to, so we use our imagination to create what it would be like – ‘BANAL UTOPIAS/ CLICHES’ that are all down to the pleasure of our mind
- Super modernity is a non –place
