“The process of modernization, even as it exploits and torments - TopicsExpress



          

“The process of modernization, even as it exploits and torments us, brings our energies and imaginations to life, drives us to grasp and confront the world that modernization makes, and to strive to make it our own. I believe that we and those who come after us will go on fighting to make ourselves at home in this world, even as the homes we have made, the modern street, the modern spirit, go on melting into air.” (Marshall Berman, All That is Solid Melts into Air, 1983) This is more than a coming to terms with the world we have created, but most of all requires a revaluation of the natural world we have created out of.
