“It was only in the late nineteenth century and then the twentieth century, with the maturation of consumer capitalism, that a shift was made toward the cultivation of unbounded desire. We must appreciate this to realize that late modern consumption, consumption as we now know it, is not fundamentally about materialism or the consumption of physical goods. Affluence and consumer-oriented capitalism have moved us well beyond the undeniable efficiencies and benefits of refrigeration and indoor plumbing.” KnowsWellsMadeDesireRealizingModernCenturyBenefitsLateCapitalismAppreciateMovedConsumersMaterialismGoodsConsumptionEfficiencyConsumerismTwentieth CenturyNineteenth CenturyOverconsumptionCultivationAffluencePlumbingIndoor Plumbing Author:Rodney Clapp
“To emphasize the importance of beauty is to connect art again to emotion and desire. To find something or someone beautiful is not simply to appreciate what you now see or know about them.
