Manufactured Landscapes


Edward Burtynsky is featured in this clip talking about what we watched. We will be discussing the ideas of economic growth, economic development, international trade, globalization as well as the idea of negative externalities in our course. We should keep in mind the visuals we got from Burtynsky's photographs - pictures are very powerful media of ideas. Maybe they should even haunt us.
