Culture jamming is so twentieth century! What's next?
OURSPACE: Resisting the Corporate Control of Culture Christine Harold University of Minnesota Press | 232 pages | 2009 ISBN 978-0-8166-4955-6 | paperback | $20.00 Now in paperback!
In OurSpace, Christine Harold examines the deployment and limitations of "culture jamming" by activists. For Harold, it is a different type of opposition that offers a genuine alternative to corporate consumerism. Exploring the revolutionary Creative Commons movement, copyleft, and open source technology, Harold advocates a more inclusive approach to intellectual property that invites innovation and wider participation in the creative process.
"OurSpace is a handy how-to primer, with illustrations, on subversion tactics and culture-jamming that is a must-read for anyone with an anti-establishment itch to scratch, a sense of humor, and no clue what the etymology of the word 'detournement' is." -Baltimore City Paper
Christine Harold is assistant professor of speech communication at the University of Georgia.
