TAKKINO - Our Consumerist Society screening

We will be watching Our Consumerist Society together inside Takland's freeshop. Hopefully we learn something new to help dismantle consumerist society or amplify the techniques we have already been using! A note from the organizer on the documentary; basically the movie is made by a white western cis man and covers theories of other white western cis men so we can be critical and have other views on it while watching it together. Doors open 19:00, start movie 19:30 - The documentarty is in English, lasts 1 hour and 24 minutes

The documentary covers among other things the following topics: 

- A history of stuff

- Shopping for definitions of consumerism

- The production of desire

- Shopping for the probem

- Real or hyperreal? (Jean Baudrillard)

- Depthlesness (Frederic Jameson)

- Postmodern production (David Harvey)
