midterm

For my midterm paper I have chose to explore the topic of culture jamming. I hope to construct a sound understanding of the term by giving examples from all sides of the topic. My sources will include articles and journals found using the Wayne State library search engine, Naomi Kline’s book “No Logo”, the film “The Corporation”, and blog posts from popular add-busting websites.
Along with its history, I aim to explore the ideology, methods, and the reaction to culture jamming in America. I hope to persuade readers in supporting people’s rights to speak out against major corporations and their problems. My argument justifies a persons right to challenge something they believe is wrong in society. Including the current stage of culture jamming which only plays a small role in the big picture, but has potential for creating major changes in the future.
Specifically I want to high light points from Naomi Kline’s book “No Logo” ware she details the role of culture jamming in society. I found several articles using the WSU library search that help support Naomi’s points and even make reference to her work. Since “No Logo” will be a big source of information for my paper, I though using the film “the corporation” would help me construct the ideas of others like Naomi.
