¿ Se mide la contaminación o se contamina la mediación?

Abstract

Pollution is not only the dark cloud that hovers over cities eating away their citizens' lives. It is also, or mainly, the sort of logic which presides over the official attempts to explain that 'disorder'. This is what this article shows, by means of well tempered variations in argument. The acts of measurement, employed by governments and mass media, are here subjected to minute analysis. We thus face the irrationality of a bourgeois stance which, trying to justify the causes and effects of pollution, pollutes reason itself and stops society from knowing the extent of the damage and the ways to combat it.
