The alienation and re-ification of workers whether temporary guests, permanent migrants, or citizens, in the State of capital also identify experiences of foreigners like tourists and other travellers.
This is when people, as creators or producers, are separated from what they produce. Such terms identify how autonomous individuals living under capitalism are subjected to domination and exploitation, by laws and conventions, by contracts, rights of ownership, title deeds, and citizenship. Such conventions and title deeds take what is inalienable in reality from every individual and turns it into a right, which is distributed to some, and excluded from others. Yet in spite of this, tourists and other temporary visitors still produce things out of their visits to the global city - just as surely as the global city produces things in them.
