Fight Club :: essays research papers

Hey DaveHow nearly relating them to fight club by talking ab bring out the ass toconsumerism e.g. theres consumption but then theres cop. Heres somesuggestions-* Commodities - judge yourself on what you profess not who you are - the ikeathing as the space he inhabits and his indistinguishability is owned by the catalogue* Waste - 1) the fat they steal from that medical exam place2) Tyler peeing in soup ( rottert remember whether thats book or film)Therefore, with consumer culture theres this constant cycle of consumptionand waste.

The external coloured surface of his works when stripped awayreveals the deathly black and white photographic negative . In a glob shellhis work lacks depth as does the whole commodification issue in postmodernamerica underneath the glossy adverts and posters lies a blank.
