Le Monde, comme si vous y étiez. Les nourritures terrestres de l’Expo 2015 à Milan

The topic of Milan’s World Expo 2015, “Feed the Planet” appears simultaneously mediocre, disputable, and complacent. Beyond this mixture of commerce, ecology and geopolitics, couldn’t we find there an indication that the very raison d’être of this kind of event has been exhausted? In the current context, Expos are not necessary, and even not useful anymore to discover the World, and lazy travellers only seem to keep good reasons to go there. However, this “floppy zone of the middle class” might have something to tell us indeed about what is at stake in today’s World.
