The trip will be an
accumulation of experiences: social and cultural expressions of inequality,
personal conflict, twisted realities and popular fantasy. I have no preconceived ideas or expectations
or feelings about the subject. As is the
condition of modern life, I am stressed.
I have work I must continue to do.
Sunday, 9 June 2013
Dubai. The 21st colonial city, a city
that was able to capitalise on money and land.
A city whose physical appearance, its hotels, malls, amusements and
attractions are all constructed from future promises. Full of engineers, planners, and human
services personnel. The city of 200 000
Emirates employs 2 million in labour from India, Nepal, South-east Asia,
Pakistan, Bangladesh, and parts of Europe.
A city in beautiful denial.
Charming visitors. Making not
fortunates, unfortunates over night as fortunes spell becomes a personal,
social and cultural indemnity. It seems
everyone is aspiring to one lifestyle.
Our lifestyle. Our aspirations
and expectations make us not worse off, but others worse off. The divide between not worse off and worse is
moralised. And those who speak of the
immorality of such unconscionable behaviour are marginalised and patronised.
The literature of postmodernism teaches us the death of universalism, the death
of the grand narrative. And you could
argue pluralism exists in Dubai, but like any city –it is constrained within
ideological parameters of neo-liberal capitalism.
