Is it all coming together? Thoughts on urban studies and the present crisis: (22) Mediations, entrapment and counterrevolution

Abstract

With a focus on the acute decline in the quality of social life that accompanies the model of socioeconomic development and associated urbanisation that 'the West’ has exported to 'the Rest’, this endpiece returns to notions of mediations (looking once again at Hamlet as currently mediated) that might deepen our understanding of its/our times, and to notions of entrapment and counterrevolution, and to the possibility of moving beyond such obstructions. This would involve, to resurrect a much abused notion, much abused by positivism and by mechanistic forms of materialism, a science of society in the making, one that goes beyond, without losing, the enthusiasm for radical change and sense of evident blockages experienced in the here and now.
