I think we've always been referring to "commodification," not "commoditization," because we've always emphasized the effects on people and society, not markets and branding. <br /><br />"Commodification" was a widely used term in art theory and crit in the 80s. It's fallen out of fashion because I think Marxism/ianism has fallen out of fashion. It will come back.7th Stoogehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11527850994226457613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11516215.post-26009257768101929762018-04-29T07:29:38.117-07:002018-04-29T07:29:38.117-07:00what does piss me off is I can't find any way ...what does piss me off is I can't find any way to comment on that assholes thing.
