The small person in front of the flashing billboards. Jasna Frangovska interviews Senka Anastasova Dr of Philosophy from the Sts. Cyril and Methodius University from Skopje of the Republic of Macedonia, about the strange feeling of the New Year under the dark shadow of the economic crash. Right before the most commercialised of all holidays, written whilst facing the year in which the world recession has gripped the Western hemisphere officially knock on our doors. The holidays represent a glamorous festivity of the consumer society that we all live in – culturally, economically and politically.
