| Theatre and Emotion in the Supermarket |
|
In the 1970s, when people still cherished
the nineteenth-century illusion of the arts being superior to
the obscene economic reality, the supermarket was a popular metaphor
for Western consumer culture. Museums were regretfully compared
to supermarkets where objects of art, as merchandise among the
merchandise, were absorbed into the drifting, ever expanding game
of postcapitalism. |
