it’s densely packed with all sorts goodies and perhaps even a bit off-putting in the same way those the high-falutin’ “lit crit” classes in college, but don’t let that stop you from getting lost in “landscapes of capital”. much, much good stuff on the medium and the message:

“”Our project is an ongoing attempt to write a multimedia Web-based book dedicated to studying how corporate television commercials portray a world shaped and defined by global capitalism during the late years of the 20th century and the first years of the 21st. Drawing on a set of over 800 TV commercials sponsored by corporate firms from 1996 to present, we try to map conceptually the landscapes and narratives of Cpital, Technology and Globalization as seen in corporate television ads.”
