The languages of the entertainment industry and of psychoanalysis arc combined with insights on social systems from Deleuze and Guattari to re-think the dynamics of urban landscapes. The modalities of control and fantasy in scripted spaces arc explored through analysis of two opposing yet related tendencies in capitalism: desire embodied as the controlling and repressive-the paranoiac tendency-and desire embodied as the deterritorialising and the nomadic-the schizophrenic tendency. Specific examples of shopping areas show how overt and/or psychic control mechanisms mutate with overt and/or psychic fantasy spaces in order to transform desire into the purchase of commodities.Downloads
