Urry-British

Compared with Kumar’s piece, Urry’s writing is not that straightforward. Or should I say, the main arguments and the first 5 pages seem straightforward, but not the analysis about “the sociological problem” which is the most important part of this piece. Moreover, I have to say that I did not quite understand the “architecture” metaphor at the end of this chapter. Fortunately, the Melin’s did a great job in the Introduction summarizing the main ideas of the three chapters. It helped me a lot understanding Urry’s claims.
