Description

Ever since Doi Moi, that is, the arrival of capitalist market forms (and the evolution of corresponding social relations), Hanoi has been undergoing the dramatic upheaval that occurred in the old cities of Europe in the 19th century as a result of industrialization and revolution. (1) What we can see before our eyes amounts to a radical change from pre-modernity to modernity, although the driving force is not industrialization but consumerism. The observer can perceive its consequences when strolling through Hanoi's streets. So let us go on a walk together through the Vietnamese capital. I often hear it said by visitors that Hanoi is timeless and unchanging. In fact this is an illusion, the nostalgic view of outsiders who discover ways of life, forms of social interaction and modes of work that remind them of their childhood and their own society's past, forms that have disappeared in the highly industrialized, post-modern environments of Western Europe and North America. So the visitor is a la recherche du temps perdu--out to discover a pristine age that is lost forever.
