...South China Mall in Dongguan, a manufacturing hub in Guangdong province, is the world's largest shopping center. Opened in 2005, it's a gaudy monument to the breakneck ascent of Chinese capitalism - 7 million sq. ft. (650,000 sq m) of leasable space, with wings designed to mimic Venice and the Champs Elysées. But, as Anthony J. Barbieri-Low notes in Artisans in Early Imperial China, the concept behind these new mainland megamalls (four of the globe's 10 biggest are in China) is quite old news. As in two millenniums...
...They haphazardly change locations throughout the movie. While this slip in pacing in no way breaks the movie, it is clear that Romero thrives on telling stories set in confined areas (see the aforementioned farmhouse from “Night of the Living Dead,” or the mall from “Dawn of the Dead,” or the underground army base from “Day of the Dead”). He has yet to master the structure of the road movie. “Diary of the Dead” marks Romero?...
...current clash over the ban isn't just about democracy. It is also a reflection of class struggle between the old élite (the "White Turks") and a new ruling class.

Our town's central shopping mall - which looks as if it could be in White Plains, N.Y., or the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles - has had a KFC and a Pizza Hut up and running for the past year. In late summer, New Songjiang passed through one of globalization's initiation rituals: Starbucks opened its first branch here...
This far West Texas town is so isolated that while you can cross the Mexican border in less than an hour for lunch, the nearest shopping mall is 200 miles (about 320 km) away. Those who live around here take immense pride in the desolate landscape that served as the backdrop for the films with the most Academy Award nominations this year, Joel and Ethan Coen's murderous No Country for Old Men and Paul Thomas Anderson's epic There Will Be Blood. But instead of buzzing about their potential golden night at the Oscars, locals are more concerned these...
