- Trickle-Down Globalisation versus Supralocal Collective SpaceNotes on the Shopping Malls of Manado, Indonesia
- Abstract
- A shopping mall in the Indonesian provincial city of Manado
provides the perfect setting in which to explore the mismatch
between the speculative aims and the generic, allegedly
global concept of the shopping mall on the one hand and
the actual consumption capacity of this particular case on
the other. The case shows the strong interdependence of
local users and the supposedly global mall management.
It is evident that density and culture play an important role
in this cheerful and colourful instant re-appropriation and
transformation of this consumer space into a public space.
The collective space is produced through (subversive)
practices.
