LAS 248 - The Communities of the Shopping Mall



The shopping mall is known for many things, ranging from capitalism at its best to capitalism at its worst; from a land of seduction to a place to spend a lot of money during the holidays. You probably know the mall for other reasons, too: as a place to meet and shop with friends, maybe even as the place where you work. This seminar will consider all that and more in looking at the shopping mall as a universe made up of many diverse communities and cultures. These communities include those to which you belong and those that might be strange to you, including those who shop and those who walk, the workers and the managers, and the other groups and hierarchies that exist within the figurative and literal four walls of the mall.
