Abstract

The article offers information on the efforts to chronicle the economic and personal changes people have endured in Baltimore, Maryland, to make sense of their lives and represent the contradictions of capitalism which resulted in the media project entitled "Anthropology by the Wire." Topics include the fallout from the closure of one of the last remaining steel plants in the U.S., the contradictions within capitalist logic, and the structural violence that emerges from neoliberal practices.
