Analytic Borderlands: Economy and Culture in the Global City

Abstract

What happens to place in a global economy? And how is globalization inscribed — in the spaces of the economy and of culture, in built form, and generally in space? I want to use these questions to argue that the dominant narrative about economic globalization is a narrative of eviction. Key concepts in the dominant account — globalization, information economy, and telematics — all suggest that place no longer matters. And they suggest that the type of place represented by major cities may have become obsolete from the perspective of the economy, particularly for the leading industries as these have the best access to, and are the most advanced users of, telematics. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
