...Bilo jednom u svijetu roba: Neslužbeni vodič po Mall of America Inspiriran analizom W. Benjamina, proučavam moderne trg. centre kao mjesta iz snova, gdje su fantazije iz stvarnog života premještene na robu, preko prostornih, antropoloških i psiholoških čimbenika. Moderni trgovački centri su primjer onoga što Foucalt naziva „heterotopije kompenzacije“, gdje višestruke slike idealnog vremena i mjesta srastaju u tvorevinu iluzije svijeta koji je odvojen od svakodnevnog života. Kao i nadsvođene trgovine iz 19. stoljeća, veliki trg. centri iz druge polovice 20. stoljeća iskazuju prostornu ujedinjenost i vremensku nepromjenjivost, koje se razlikuju od dinamične i diskontinuirane, raskomadane i razdvojene stvarnosti izvan njihovih granica. Suvremena okolina maloprodaje nam opisuje gubitak prirodnog svijeta, te nam obećava utopijsku potrošačku zajednicu. U ovom radu, istražujem vizualnu i govornu retoriku razvijenu oko ovog efekta, uzimajući u obzir kritičnost, kroz primjer trg. lanca Mall of America, otvorenog 1992. u Minnesoti. Mall of America predstavlja zamišljenu cjelokupnost geografije i povijesti potrošačkog svijeta, i da je, zbog svog imena, veličine i težnje simbol veličanja suvremenih trg. centara. Također, njihov logo, sa crvenom, bijelom i plavom vrpcom te zvijezdama, predstavlja suštinsko američko iskustvo. To je „najveći potpuno natkriveni kompleks za maloprodaju i obiteljsku zabavu, sa preko 40 milijuna posjetitelja godišnje – više nego Graceland, Disneyland i Grand...

...Research Paper Shopping Malls have been around for centuries their ancestor were enclosed such as the agora of ancient Greece or the Palais Royal of prerevolutionary Paris, and covered like the Jerusalem bazaar and the famous Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar. There are much closer ancestors but as famous as the old ones, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan built in 1867 is well known as it is a covered prolongation of the street with its shops, café and restaurants on two levels. The mall that we know nowadays was introduced by Victor Gruen, who designed the first famous modern mall, the indoor version of the traditional marketplace; it was an enclosed climate-controlled indoor mall in Minnesota in 1956. Since then malls have been around us and are now part of our culture. This paper will argue that malls play significant roles in suburban life. Some people believe that malls are destructive towards our life style. In some ways this is true. Malls do standardize the way of shopping by bringing all the wants and need of our society together but people forget that malls implements their own positive lifestyle. I will highlight three main arguments to demonstrate that malls represent well our culture and play a significant role in the suburban life. First by their design as there are nowadays not only places to shop but are artistic structures, secondly by the way they serve socials functions and finally that they provide a safe environment. Shopping malls are originally designed...

...Dirty Bomb detonates at the Mall of America Robert Capponi HSM320 Erik Stone 16 November 2015 Dirty Bomb detonates at the Mall of America A radiological dispersion device (dirty bomb) has been detonated in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota on the day after Thanksgiving which is known as “Black Friday”. Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year and malls and shopping centers all over the country are severely crowed with people taking advantage of sales and special offers on merchandize for the holiday season. A dirty bomb is a very effective terror weapon because it combines the mass lethality of an explosive device, plus exposure to radiation; this device causes mass fear and panic in a population and could have a serious effect on the nearby area and environment.

...essay Quindlen chooses to use emotionally charged events and language, like her reference to the trampling to death of a Walmart employee by holiday shoppers, or when she writes ``these are dark days in the United States: the cataclysmic stock-market declines``. What Quindlen does not provide are any logical lines of reasoning or support. To better understand and analyze Quidlen`s essay we will refer to an essay on a related topic by David Guterson: Enclosed. Encyclopedic. Endured., published in 1993. This essay relates Mr. Guterson`s experience of a one week tour of the Mall of America, in Minneapolis, at the time the largest mall in the world. Mr. Guterson is much less ambitious in his claims but actually provides support by tracing the history of consumerism in America as expressed in malls. Mr. Guterson also draws heavily on his analysis of interviews and comments made by shoppers at the world`s largest mall. Sometimes considering when an essay was written is important to help us understand the approach the author took. It is noteworthy that Quidlen`s essay was published in December of 2008, right at the bottom of what is now known as the Great Financial Crisis and one year into an American recession. Admittedly with the benefit of hindsight it seems clear to me that Ms. Quindlen was reflecting the tenor of times in producing a piece that was long on emotion and very short on analysis. In contrast Mr. Guterson`s...

...of Shopping Malls and Big Box Retail Stores Michele A. Guinn Northeastern State University Abstract Shopping malls and big box stores appear to be less plentiful than they were twenty years ago. Is this a result of e-commerce or a confluence of consolidation? Each of these issues affects consumers and the way we go about our daily shopping activates. We are a society that follows trends, and the mall trend may be changing or just disappearing. This paper will cover were malls came from, where they are now, and what is foretold about the future of shopping malls and big box retailers. The current and future of Shopping Malls and Big Box Retail Stores Growing up, malls were a place to spend the day with family and friends while grabbing a bite to eat after getting a new haircut and then off to the arcade to spend a weekly allowance. Today over 400 malls have closed in the U.S. since 2007 and there is even a website devoted to “dead malls” that are out of commission. Big Box retail stores that provide consumers with the combination food/discount stores are not doomed but big box retailers that are “category killers” (toys, electronics, office equipment) are struggling from the effects of technology. Retailers with a smaller footprint will have an upper hand over the next 10 years as big box retailers need to figure out how to take advantage of this trend that is driven by technology, economic conditions, and overall customer wants and needs. Shopping malls that want to...

...Russian name. In Russian Nikita means victorious and unconquerable. My mom also told me that there was a Russian queen named Nikita. In Indian culture my parents have to do this tradition where they have to go to a temple to a priest and find out what should my name start with. So then the priest looks at the day, the date and the time. Then tells my parents it should start with a letter “N”. My parents were having a hard time finding a name for me. So my parents decide to take a look at the book full of names that started with the letter “N” finally they decided to name me Nikita. They also saw that Nikita was a very uncommon name. So that’s how my name came to be Nikita. Indian culture is really hard to follow when you live in America. I think it’s hard to be an Indian and American at the same time. I have to be both because if I forget my Indian culture my parents get really mad and if I don’t be American I wouldn’t fit in like other people. But I think I like being Indian knowing more or different languages than other Americans it makes me feel special. My dad doesn’t allow me and my little brother to speak English at home because he doesn’t want us to forget our language and I think that’s the right thing because I forgot how to write Hindi and if I wouldn’t speak Hindi I might forget how to speak it too. My mom always cooks Indian meals for our family so I and my little brother can know what an Indian meal is like. Having a little Indian and American flavor in some...
