A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The language of scripted places
The languages of the entertainment industry and of psychoanalysis arc combined with insights on social systems from Deleuze and Guattari to re-think the dynamics of urban landscapes. The modalities of control and fantasy in scripted spaces arc explored through analysis of two opposing yet related tendencies in capitalism: desire embodied as the controlling and repressive-the paranoiac tendency-and desire embodied as the deterritorialising and the nomadic-the schizophrenic tendency. Specific examples of shopping areas show how overt and/or psychic control mechanisms mutate with overt and/or psychic fantasy spaces in order to transform desire into the purchase of commodities.
