Unmarketable Zusammenfassung

Unmarketable: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing and the Erosion of Integrity Anne Elizabeth Moore

For years the DIY punk / underground has worked against the logic of mass production and creative uniformity, disseminating radical ideas and directly making and trading goods and services. But what happens when the underground becomes just another market? What happens to cultural resistance when it becomes just another marketing platform? Unmarketable examines the corrosive effects of corporate infiltration of the underground - a lively, funny and much-needed look at what this means for activism, commerce and intebrity in a world dominated by corporations.

Unmarketable Bewertungen

Praise for Unmarketable:
Conversational, intellectually curious, and charmingly ragged, Unmarketable is an anticorporate manifesto with a difference: It exudes raw coolness.
-Mother Jones

Sharp and valuable muckraking.
-Time Out New York

An intelligent, funny, and frequently dispiriting study of the ways in which the mainstream has repeatedly pillaged the underground, repackaging what they find before setting it afloat in the sea of mass consumption.
-Bitch

One of the most profound insights Moore makes is that when activists use the same branding, marketing and even legal strategies as corporations, they in essence play on corporate terms.
-Los Angeles Times

Engaging to read, yet don't lose sight of [Moore's] plea for integrity. Worth noting.
-Booklist

Following in the grand tradition of Thomas Frank, Anne Elizabeth Moore has written a devastating account of the commercial penetration of alternative culture and its appalling implications. This book should be a must-read for everyone; it is a wake-up call for how freedom and integrity are considered commodities by those with no agenda except to make profits . . . and rule the world.
-Robert W. McChesney

If you thought regular advertising was manipulative, you should see its seedy underbelly. Anne Elizabeth Moore's investigation is unflinching and revelatory.
-Michelle Tea

An informative, forceful, and humorous book.
-Harvey Pekar
