Views
In her postdoctoral research project Homo Capitalistes, she concludes that ”the only ism after postmodernism is consumerism”, and that the postmodern condition has become a shopmodern condition, in which aesthetics and economics have merged into aesthetonomics, which defines an economy of seeing evaluating how much a being is worth.
