Fight Club :: essays research papers

Hey DaveHow slightly relating them to fight hostelry by talking about the underside toconsumerism e.g. t presents outgo but then theres waste. Heres somesuggestions-* Commodities - judge yourself-importance on what you own not who you are - the ikeathing as the space he inhabits and his identity is owned by the catalogue* Waste - 1) the fat they distinguish from that medical place2) Tyler peeing in soup (cant remember whether thats oblige or film)Therefore, with consumer culture theres this constant cycle of consumptionand waste. An interesting idea, though im ot sure that its relevant isthat Tyler acts as a representative between consumption and waste as hereuses it (the peeing and fat to make cleanse) Cool huh?Anyway heres the link to WarholAndy Warhols work in fact turns centrally around commodification with thebillboard images of Coca Cola or the Campbells soup can. However, strangeearlier modernist artists whose work screams out meaning and depth ofinterpretation, Warhol s does not. Instead, Warhol offers a deathly qualityto his art. The external coloured surface of his works when stripped absentreveals the deathly black and white photographic negative . In a nut shellhis work lacks depth as does the whole commodification cut off in postmodernamerica underneath the glossy adverts and posters lies a blank. Whatsomething looks want is more important than what it means.Therefore, the link could be aesthetics over meaning. The storyteller in Fightclub confuses being with having due to advertisements (Warhol) as the selfis founded on furniture and fashion. The commodity fetish is played outhere and it is tyler that wants to remind the narrator about their bodiesand themselves rather than what they ownIn stopping point (lol) Warhol can be used as an example of commodification theglossy images that feign the product but have no depth and are single aboutaesthetics what the product looks like and then fight club plays this outand shows the underside t o it.Hope this helpsAnd I am fine.
