Abstract
|
:
|
Bruce O'Neill shows how the Bucharest, Romania's homeless are unable to fully participate in a society that is increasingly organized around practices of consumption, leaving them mired in an unshakeable boredom and the slow deterioration of their lives that are symptomatic of the alienation brought on by globalization.
