Exchanges in Real Spaces & Virtual Spaces

POST 12: SPACES & EXCHANGES - Exchanges in Real Spaces & Virtual Spaces: Two cartoons  How far is the boundary between real and virtual spaces becoming increasingly blurred nowadays? The first document is a cartoon drawn by  Harvey Schwadron , where we see a man looking up to look at the window of a corner shop. There is a panel on the window that says "Ace Computers" and asks why "eco-tourists" would "travel and add to pollution while they could stay home and visit exotic travel web sites!"   This means that today, thanks to the internet it is so easy to just look up anything and have it in front of us in mere seconds.  For example, you can easily look up "Thailand beaches" and scroll through the endless pictures of idyllic scenery all while being on your own sofa.

While I am still reading the book, I started (and finished) the Hulu production of Margaret Atwoods's 1985 book, The Handmaid's Tale. The dystopian tragedy was created by Bruce Miller in 2016 and stars Elizabeth Moss, Joseph Fiennes, Yvonne Strahozski and many more.  Map of Gilead The United States faces a civil war, an ultraconservative and traditional group take power and proclame the USA as Gilead. In Gilead, society is based of hierarchy and gender. The government officials  as the Commanders, their Wives, Martha, the housekeepers, Handmaids, Aunts, women who control and torture the Handmaids and The Eyes, the police. Handmaids are women who are fertile and can bear children but that have "sinned" in the past, they are passed family to family and have to endure what is called the "Ceremony". F...
