    Merchant spaces, malls and urban landscapes in a globalised world

    Commerce et culture special session

Through such analogy, whose today’s dynamics are bringing new heuristic interest, the objective is to consider conceptual issues such as marginality, informality, multi-scaled organisation of economic channels, access to resources and value regimes
