A Portrait of the Activist as a Yes Man: Examining Culture Jamming and Its Actors Through the Circuit of Culture

The focus of this thesis is to provide a critical examination of the movement of culture jamming through a primary reading of activist group The Yes Men. The Yes Men as the primary focus, and the movement of culture jamming as the theoretical backdrop will be examined through the 'Circuit of Culture' in a paradigm of cultural studies. The goal is not to judge success or failure of a group or a movement, but rather to place these particular entities in the context of the culture in which they exist. / A Thesis Submitted to the School of Communication and Information in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science. / Spring Semester, 2011. / April 01, 2011. / Culture Jamming, The Yes Men, The Spectacle, Adbusters / Includes bibliographical references. / Andrew Opel, Professor Directing Thesis; Donna Marie Nudd, Committee Member; Jennifer Proffitt, Committee Member.
