SOC317H5 Chapter Notes - Chapter 3: Georg Simmel, List Of Shopping Streets And Districts By City, Ricotta
Document Summary
Sharon zukin point of purchase: how shopping changed american culture . Some years ago, when i lived in belgrade, capital of the former yugoslavia, i"d like to shop at the farmers market. On weekend mornings in the spring, i would get up early, before the sun grew hot in the streets became dusty and hairless, and walked to the local pijaca. There were a bunch of people selling different things, many people fingering tomatoes, apples, heads of lettuce, eggplant, beans. There were only two kinds of fresh cheese in this area of the world dry or saline- (feta or ricotta) After trying the cheese if i liked it i would ask him much it cost. But when the woman named a price, i usually try to bargain. It"s not that the cheese was so expensive certainly not for someone who came from new york city but trying to bargain was part of the experience.
