File contains general overviews of the culture jamming phenomenon, from newspaper, magazine, and ‘zine “trend pieces,” interviews with jammers, novels about jammers or media guerrillas (Norman Spinrad’s Pictures at 11), books on jamming (Jamming the Media by Gareth Branwyn), a photo spread in The Face that captures a highly mediated “postmodern moment” of the sort that jammers liked to expose (and which The Face’s narrative framing—in the best British comment-by-not-commenting manner—transforms into an act of deadpan culture jamming);
another copy of that Ant Farm “Media Burn” postcard;
promo card for Sabotage in the Amweican Workplace;
Simon Frith Village Voice item on Dirty Dancing’s “rewriting of pop history,” another instance of the Baudrillardian replacement of the Real by ideologically slanted media simulacra, a cultural dynamic jammers often critiqued;
review of Brian Fawcett’s Public Eye: An Investigation into the Disappearance of the World, which addresses the same postmodern theme;
C. Carr Village Voice round-up of books related to jamming and media activism
