Scapes

Regarding Arjun Appadurai, “Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Economy”:
"Scape" is a cute new suffix to flex.

I suggest the not so golden oldie "E-scape" is more to the pointlessness of exploding billions as their agendas grow more and more complex to perceive let alone deal with. The amazing re-emergence of an eighth century theology, Islam, is a very simplistic scape that seems to threaten most even the most disciplined Euro-American culture.

If Indonesia can ban Mama Gaga, then the rest of the world may close their narcissistic Facebooks and return to relish a boundless Nature.
