Abstract

Propelled by the new kind of capitalism, and aided by a scientific and technological progress that culminates in virtual perfection, the city has now become both the producer and the consumer of spectacle. Caught in a tangle of means and ends, the spectacle that used to be merely an icing of the cake, a tiny ribbon of the dress, a glitter, or a slight shimmer, has become the product to be consumed.
