Synopsis El Mall by : Arlene Dávila

While becoming less relevant in the United States, shopping malls are booming throughout urban Latin America. But what does this mean on the ground? Are shopping malls a sign of the region’s “coming of age”? El Mall is the first book to answer these questions and explore how malls and consumption are shaping the conversation about class and social inequality in Latin America. Through original and insightful ethnography, Dávila shows that class in the neoliberal city is increasingly defined by the shopping habits of ordinary people. Moving from the global operations of the shopping mall industry to the experience of shopping in places like Bogotá, Colombia, El Mall is an indispensable book for scholars and students interested in consumerism and neoliberal politics in Latin America and the world.

Synopsis Downward Spiral by : Celeste Olalquiaga

Hailed in the 1950s as a beacon of Latin America's modernist architecture, Venezuela's El Helicoide is a futuristic fantasy gone sour. At its conception, this drive-through shopping center embodied the narrative of progress fueled by soaring oil prices, consumerism and car culture. Yet a very different story unfolded on its spiral ramps. Caught up in the transition from military dictatorship to democratic rule, El Helicoide became a site of abandonment, encircled by slums, repurposed as an emergency shelter for flood victims, and finally taken over as the intelligence police headquarters and jail. Combining archival documents, critical analysis, literary excerpts and visual artworks, From Mall to Prison traces the turbulent history of this living ruin and shows the dystopic side of urban modernity.
