The annoying thing about exploring London these days is that in virtually all long views the Shard will pop up.

As Paul Finch suggests the Shard was ‘an instant hit with the public, even if snooty critics disliked its bravura presence on the skyline’
Owen Hatherley:
\nThe Shard is sleek, well-made and evil, and its dystopian presence is a constant reminder on the London skyline that something has gone seriously awry with British democracy, not least in terms of local democracy.
\nthe best thing about the Shard is that it makes such an explicit statement about power, about who matters and who doesn’t.
\n\n
\n
’ve noted with interest how many of the Shard stories in the popular press, those shaping our collective imagination of the building, have juxtaposed the lone figure − whether a fox, a daredevil student, or a stranded window cleaner − against its expanse, attempts perhaps to impose some sort of human scale on its inestimable volume.

\n\n
Despite all the hallmarks of leftist rhetoric, somehow this slogan proposing that architecture replaces politics, remains apolitical.
\nPolitical oppositions dissolve in a battle between new and old - in a choice between progress and regress.
\nAs soon as people own their homes, a mortgage will give them a vested interest in keeping interest rates and inflation down. Locked into an inescapable financial reality, they will have little alternative but to sympathise with the economic agenda of the right. Home owners, it is reasoned, will form an instantaneous conservative constituency.

Likewise the stereotype, which is its major discursive strategy, is a form of knowledge and identification that vacillates between what is always ‘in place’, already known, and something that must be anxiously repeated … as if the essential duplicity of the Asiatic or the bestial sexual licence of the African that needs no proof, can never really, in discourse, be proved. It is this process of ambivalence, central to the stereotype that my essay explores as it constructs a theory of colonial discourse. For it is the force of ambivalence that gives the colonial stereotype its currency: ensures its repeatability in changing historical and discursive conjunctures; informs its strategies of individuation and marginalization; produces that effect of probabilistic truth and predictability which, for the stereotype, must always be in excess of what can be empirically proved or logically construed. Yet the function of ambivalence as one of the most significant discursive and psychical strategies of discriminatory power — whether racist or sexist, peripheral or metropolitan — remains to be charted.", "bookTitle": "Twentieth-Century Literary Theory: A Reader", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "1997", "publisher": "Macmillan Education UK", "place": "London", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "pages": "293-301", "ISBN": "978-1-349-25934-2", "DOI": "10.1007/978-1-349-25934-2_54", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-25934-2_54", "accessDate": "2019-08-14T11:51:22Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Homi K.
