Naomi Klein – No Logo NO LOGO By Naomi Klein Preface Born in Montreal in 1970, NAOMI KLEIN is an award-winning journalist and bestselling author. Her articles have appeared in numerous publications including the Nation, New Statesman, Newsweek International, the New York Times, Village Voice, Ms., The Baffler, and Saturday Night. She writes a weekly column in the Globe & Mail, Canada's national newspaper. She is a frequent media commentator and has guest lectured at Harvard, Yale and Mew York University. Naomi Klein lives in Toronto. No Logo was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award 2000. Reviews: 'Naomi Klein brilliantly charts the protean nature of consumer capitalism, how it absorbs radical challenges to its dominance and turns them into consumer products.' MADELEINE BUNTING, Guardian 'The bible for anti-corporate militancy.' Select 'This entertaining exposure of corporate culture resonates with disillusion.' CHRISTOPHER HIRST, Independent 'Personable and well-informed, prescient, necessary and ultimately optimistic, No Logo paints a vivid picture of spirited, creative rebellion.' WILLIAM GEORGIADES, Literary Review 'Naomi Klein catches the anticapitalist mood so well it seems unbelievable that No Logo was written before the "Battle of Seattle". She expresses brilliantly the rage that so many people feel about what is going on in the world, giving us ammunition against the bosses and governments.' JUDITH ORR, Socialist Review 'Zipping between corporations, countries and human rights violations with all the self- assured effortlessness of a multinational transferring capital between currencies, Naomi Klein's convincing analysis of the rise of the superbrand -Starbucks, Nike, Ikea, Gap, Blockbuster et al -reveals a world where labels are hungry for every inch of space.' The Face 'A touchstone of sanity' 'A brilliant book' Red Pepper PETER YORK, The Times Packed with facts and arguments and gratifyingly cross with not just corporate culture, but our own eagerness to buy into it, No Logo couldn't have been better timed.' Independent on Sunday 'No Logo should be read by anyone who thinks that the Seattle demonstrations were an aberration.' Economist 'Athletic, expansive and an antidote to sloppy thinking . It's impossible not to notice the prescience of her argument.' AUSTIN BUNN, Sunday Herald 'A brilliant account of how Nike, Starbucks, McDonalds etc. branded the industrialised world, and how the most exciting strand of radical politics is now bound up with resisting their kulturkampf. Fantastic and inspiring.' Select 'Unerring and serious . This is a juicy, salty book.' FERDINAND MOUNT, TLS 'No Logo is a comprehensive account of the potential monster that the global economy has created and the actions to thwart it. So brands watch out, there is a loud and strong message here!' ANN PARKER, Marketing 'A passionate, well-written and thoroughly researched book.' JIM DUNNE, Sunday Business 'No Logo is a siren going off.' Overload 'Just when you thought multi-nationals and crazed consumerism were too big to fight, along comes Naomi Klein with facts, spirit, and news of successful fighters already out there. No Logo is an invigorating call to arms for everybody who wants to save money, justice, or the universe.' GLORIA STEINEM 'What corporations fear most are consumers who ask questions. Naomi Klein offers us the arguments with which to take on the superbrands.' BILLY BRAGG 'Essential millennial reading.' RICHARD BENSON, Limb by Limb American and Canadian reviews: 'Klein is a gifted writer; her paragraphs can be as seductive as the ad campaigns she dissects.' New York Times Book Review 'Naomi Klein's trenchant book is the perfect introduction to and explanation of those stunning events [in Seattle] . this book is the very essence of cool.' Globe & Mail To understand how branding drives the global market, you couldn't ask for a better guide than Naomi Klein.' Toronto Star 'A dense, fact-filled publication that makes plain the jargon spouted by all who put profit before basic human needs. with its far reaching vision and clear presentation. A well- conceived primer on the machinations of the modern consumer world, No Logo is required reading for anyone who thinks people should not be treated like machines.' Eye Weekly 'Nothing short of a complete, user-friendly handbook on the negative effects that '90s uberbrand marketing has had on culture, work, and consumer choice ... an encyclopaedic compilation of the decade's fringe and mainstream anti-corporate actions and mind-sets.' Village Voice 'A powerful and passionate book.' National Post 'An incredibly important, timely read and a powerful call to arms.' Calgary Straight 'No Logo finally puts in perspective what the newest generation of fed-up consumers and anti-corporate activists have been trying to verbalize for the past 10 years.' Ottawa Express 'Generation-X intellectual Naomi Klein could become the next Douglas Coupland with her No Logo. She anticipates a revolt against corporate power by younger people seeking brand-free space. Even if the revolt is not in the works yet, her tart writing might inspire one.' Report on Business 'At once an impressive journalistic analysis and an impassioned rallying cry.' New Brunswick Telegraph You might not see things yet on the surface, but underground, it's already on fire. -Indonesian writer Y.B. Mangunwijaya, July 16, 1998 NO SPACE NO CHOICE NO JOBS NO LOGO NAOMI KLEIN For Avi First published in Great Britain by Flamingo 2000 Copyright ® Naomi Klein 2000 Naomi Klein asserts the moral right to be identified as the author of this work ISBN 0 00 653040 0 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The four-year process of taking No Logo from an idea to a finished book has been exhilarating. It has not, however, been painless and I have relied heavily on the support, understanding and expertise of those around me. It has been my great honour to have as my editor Louise Dennys, whose intellectual rigor and personal commitment to freedom of expression and human rights have sharpened the arguments in this book and smoothed my rough edges as a writer. She transformed this book in magical ways. My research assistant, Paula Thiessen, has tracked down many of the most obscure facts and sources. For more than two years she worked tirelessly collecting the statistics that make up this book's many original charts, extracting facts from cagey retail chains and cajoling government agencies around the world to send unpublished reports. She also conducted the book's photo research and has been a calming influence and supportive colleague during what is often lonely work. My agents at the Westwood Creative Artists, Bruce Westwood and Jennifer Barclay, took on what many would have seen as a risky project, with boundless enthusiasm and determination. They searched the international book world for kindred spirits who would not just publish No Logo, but would champion it: Reagan Arthur and Philip Gwyn Jones. The exceptional team at Knopf Canada has been warm-hearted and cool-headed no matter what the crisis. I am grateful to Michael Mouland, Nikki Barrett, Noelle Zitzer and Susan Burns, as well as to the talented and dedicated team of editors who have strengthened, polished, trimmed and checked this text: Doris Cowan, Alison Reid and Deborah Viets. I am deeply indebted to John Honderich, publisher of The Toronto Star, who gave me a regular column in his newspaper when I was far too young; a space that for almost five years allowed me to develop both the ideas and the contacts that form the foundation of this book. My editors at The Star-Carol Goar, Haroon Siddiqui and Mark Richardson-have been enormously supportive through leaves of absence and even wished me well when I left the column to focus my full attention on this project. The writing for No Logo began in earnest as a piece for The Village Voice on culture jamming and I am indebted to Miles Seligman for his editorial insights. My editor at Saturday Night, Paul Tough, has supported me with extended deadlines, research leads, and No Logo-themed assignments, including a trip to the Roots Lodge, which helped deepen my understanding of the Utopian aspirations of branding. I received valuable research assistance from Idella Sturino, Stefan Philipa and Maya Roy. Mark Johnston hooked me up in London, Bern Jugunos did the same in Manila and Jeff Ballinger did it in Jakarta. Hundreds of individuals and organizations also cooperated with the research, but a few individuals went far out of their way to ply me with stats and facts: Andrew Jackson, Janice Newson, Carly Stasko, Leah Rumack, Mark Hosier, Dan Mills, Bob Jeffcott, Lynda Yanz, Trim Bissell, Laird Brown, and most of all, Gerard Greenfield. Unsolicited juicy tidbits arrived by post and E-mail from Doug Saunders, Jesse Hirsh, Joey Slinger, Paul Webster and countless other electronic angels. The Toronto Reference Library, the International Labour Organization, the Corporate Watch Web site, the Maquila Solidarity Network, The Baffler, SchNEWS, Adbusters and the Tao Collective list serves were all invaluable to my research. I am also grateful to Leo Panitch and Mel Watkins for inviting me to speak at conferences that helped me to workshop the thesis early on, and to my colleagues on the This Magazine editorial board for their generosity and encouragement. Several friends and family members have read the manuscript and offered advice and input: Michele Landsberg, Stephen Lewis, Kyo Maclear, Cathie James, as well as Bonnie, Michael, Anne and Seth Klein. Mark Kingwell has been a dear friend and intellectual mentor. Sara Borins was my first and most enthusiastic reader - of both the proposal and the first draft —and it was the ever-fabulous Sara who insisted that No Logo must have a design that matched the spirit of its content. Nancy Friedland, John Montesano, Anne Baines and Rachel Giese stood by me when I was nowhere to be found.

  • 1. Fast Brands: Nuevas Marcas La Tierra Gira a Una Velocidad De 1.700 Km/H Sobre Su Eje
    1. Fast Brands: Nuevas Marcas La tierra gira a una velocidad de 1.700 km/h sobre su eje. Es decir, mientras lees estas líneas viajas por encima de la velocidad del sonido, es más, si la tierra frenase de golpe, saldríamos despedidos a esa velocidad hacia el espacio infinito. Así que si tienes la sensación que la vida va deprisa, que tu entorno cambia rápido, no olvides que tú también lo haces. Pero es cierto, que esa velocidad ha aumentado exponencialmente en los últimos años. En realidad es algo que nos estamos contagiando e incrementa nuestro ritmo. ¿Quién no se ha preguntado por qué anda rápido en el metro? ¿Por qué nos contagiamos del ritmo de los demás? Hoy nos encontramos en un entorno altamente competitivo, cambiante y extremadamente dinámico, donde las respuestas correctas son excesivamente lentas y en ocasiones sólo necesitamos ‘respuestas’. Un entorno en el que la competitividad ha aumentado, las barreras han caído y que permite que hoy cualquiera pueda ser altamente competitivo redefiniendo las reglas del juego. Basta con entrar en una categoría, cambiar las reglas, imprimir velocidad y los gigantes que estaban en ella, estarán tan pesados y lentos que difícilmente podrán seguirte. Que se lo pregunten al gremio del Taxi, al renting de coches o a las energéticas tradicionales. Este tipo de competitividad, está requiriendo un nuevo tipo de empresas, y por lo tanto un nuevo tipo de marcas. FAST BRANDS Si vemos el proceso de creación de marcas, como un proceso reflexivo en el que la estrategia nos ayuda a definir nuestro posicionamiento, valor, identidad y propuesta, es un buen punto de partida para construir una marca competitiva.

The film shows how climate Avi Lewis: change is affecting people all over the world, causing droughts, wildfires, intense Why We Should All Leap summer heat, violent storms and more. Partners in life and partners in conviction and social activism, Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein make a formidable team. Through documentary film and writing, the two combined their talents to create This Changes Everything – a film and book by the same name. Then came the “Leap Manifesto” a political document meant to change how people think and act on climate change and economic inequality. Avi Lewis spoke with us recently about This Changes Everything and the Leap Manifesto.

  • We Need Net Neutrality As Evidenced by This Article to Prevent Corporate
    We need Net Neutrality as evidenced by this article to prevent corporate censorship of individual free speech online, whether its AOL censoring DearAOL.com emails protesting their proposed email fee for prioritized email delivery that evades spam filters, AT&T censoring Pearl Jam which this article is about, or Verizon Wireless censoring text messages from NARAL Pro Choice America. If the FCC won't reclassify broadband under Title II the FTC should regulate Net Neutrality, also the DOJ should investigate corporations engaging in such corporate censorship and if they are violating competition laws break them up. Pearl Jam came out in favor of net neutrality after AT&T censored a broadcast a performance they did in Chicago last Sunday. I guess AT&T didn?t like Pearl Jam?s anti-Bush message. I don?t know if Pearl Jam?s sudden embrace of net neutrality is out of ignorance, or if it?s retaliation. It doesn?t really matter because it should help bring some more awareness to the issue. Here?s the issue with net neutrality, in a nutshell. AT&T wants to charge companies like Amazon, eBay, and Google when people like you and me access their web pages. And if the companies don?t pay, AT&T will make the web sites slower. The idea is that if one company doesn?t pay the fees but a competitor does, AT&T customers will probably opt to use the faster services. IT"S WORTH NOTING: Without content, an Internet connection has no value. Proponents say AT&T built the infrastructure, so they have the right to charge whoever uses it.

  • Edri Submission to UN Special Rapporteur David Kaye's Call on Freedom of Expression and the Private Sector in the Digital Age
    EDRi submission to UN Special Rapporteur David Kaye's call on freedom of expression and the private sector in the digital age Introduction EDRi is a not-for-profit association of digital civil rights organisations. Our objectives are to promote, protect and uphold civil rights in the field of information and communication technology. European Digital Rights (EDRi) welcomes the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression David Kaye’s public consultation on the role of ICT companies vis-à-vis freedom of expression in the digital environment to identify: I. the categories of actors in the ICT sector whose activities implicate the freedom of opinion and expression; II. the main legal issues raised for freedom of opinion and expression within the ICT sector; and III. the conceptual and normative work already done to develop corporate responsibility and human rights frameworks in these spaces, including governmental, inter-governmental, civil society, corporate and multistakeholder efforts. I. ICT actors with a potential to impact freedom of expression and opinion In order to communicate online, it is necessary to rely on a chain of different service providers, often based in different jurisdictions and with whom one may have no direct relationship at all. For example, if "zero-rating" or even data caps are imposed by Internet access providers in a country and you have no organisational and financial capacity to be "zero-rated", your ability to communicate with people that are using such restricted services is limited and there is no "leverage" with the ISPs that connect your intended audience with the Internet.

  • Hipster Black Metal?
    Hipster Black Metal? Deafheaven’s Sunbather and the Evolution of an (Un) popular Genre Paola Ferrero A couple of months ago a guy walks into a bar in Brooklyn and strikes up a conversation with the bartenders about heavy metal. The guy happens to mention that Deafheaven, an up-and-coming American black metal (BM) band, is going to perform at Saint Vitus, the local metal concert venue, in a couple of weeks. The bartenders immediately become confrontational, denying Deafheaven the BM ‘label of authenticity’: the band, according to them, plays ‘hipster metal’ and their singer, George Clarke, clearly sports a hipster hairstyle. Good thing they probably did not know who they were talking to: the ‘guy’ in our story is, in fact, Jonah Bayer, a contributor to Noisey, the music magazine of Vice, considered to be one of the bastions of hipster online culture. The product of that conversation, a piece entitled ‘Why are black metal fans such elitist assholes?’ was almost certainly intended as a humorous nod to the ongoing debate, generated mainly by music webzines and their readers, over Deafheaven’s inclusion in the BM canon. The article features a promo picture of the band, two young, clean- shaven guys, wearing indistinct clothing, with short haircuts and mild, neutral facial expressions, their faces made to look like they were ironically wearing black and white make up, the typical ‘corpse-paint’ of traditional, early BM. It certainly did not help that Bayer also included a picture of Inquisition, a historical BM band from Colombia formed in the early 1990s, and ridiculed their corpse-paint and black cloaks attire with the following caption: ‘Here’s what you’re defending, black metal purists.
