It studies the amnesiac effects of globalization upon the narrative structure of television, video, animation, photography and installation art. It also explores the shapeshifting that has overwhelmed cities and entertainment spaces. Today, the Floating Class exists more internally, for example, in vigilante social networks. Its precarious numbers have grown a hundred-fold. They suffer the mad indignities of a gig economy, and neo-feudal indenture. (GoodReads) ER -
