Woman is still the other of this Church-State totalism, outside. The event is extremely small but the symbolism enormous of an intrinsic lack and its insane compensations. Philosopher Zi^ek sees the significance of what Pussy Riot represent for contemporary global capitalism, represented by the American dollar and Wall Street. Performer Madonna sees the difference between America, where she has been able to express herself and says that anyone can, and other parts of the world, namely Russia, where this is not possible.

The rise and the diversification of restaurants on Xinjiang street shows the social cultural process of the reconstruction of space originally symbolically occupied exclusively by Uygur restaurants.In this process,different ethnic groups use cultural resources,such as the design of certain ethnic menus,alternation of restaurants’ names,an temporary borrowed identity to mold the environment of Beijing.The above resources,as well as the use of ethnicity and localism and political symbolism,are used to reach a coordinated growth for their social cultural principles and business management in modern business.From these,we can discover the nature of the historical,geographical and social cultural construction of a residential district.展开更多
