The Spectacle and Political/Terrorist actions...

Posted September 18, 2001 2:35 PM.

In another article from disinformation, there is discussion about the memetic effects of Hollwood imagery. Although the article strays dangerously close to advocating censorship on the grounds of 'putting ideas into people's heads' it does question the relationship between the Spectacle and political and terrorist action. Perhaps it's only understandable that a radical politician of a fundamentalist country should try to make a movie in which the 'bad guys win'.
