Resumen de The Notion of Thana-Capitalism explained with clarity:: Dark tourism and Genocide
This short essay review intends to respond why and under what conditions a site of memory (like Auschwitz) becomes in a banal tourist attraction visited by people who remain unfamiliar with that sad events. My theory on Thana-capitalism not only suffices to give a snapshot to readers but also sheds light on power of the morbid taste. The risk society, a term used by modern sociologist like Giddens or Beck set the pace to a new stage of capitalism where the “Other´s death” still is the main commodity to exchange. Fascinated by the massdestruction and death, the new morbid audience 24/7 news related to death, crimes anddisasters. We are fascinated –if not dominated- by the obsession for the “Other´s pain”.
