Book Review of Global Networks

Mark Lombardi termed his art “Narrative Structures” which were an extension of art known as history art. This form of art generally represented historic events or political actions that affected the world. Mark Lombardi’s art wasn’t nearly as detailed in the sense of artwork, but was greatly more detailed in the research that he performed and the connections he made from corporate individual to other corporate individual.

Lombardi had great interest in the topic of globalism, and wanted to show this through his art. This is why he made the connections of many different corporate individuals to each other, even when they appeared on the surface to possibly have no connections at all. He was very involved in his work and wanted to show the connections that individuals had to one another even when they were from different parts of the world.

I believe that Lombardi’s art is an example of Conflict Theory. It shows that there are individuals who have a great amount of power, and these individuals are often connected in various forms to other individuals who have similar levels of power. This shows that there are individuals with the resources, the haves, that use their power to maintain the resources that have and make it more difficult for others to gain power and or resources.
