How does capital represent itself?

Landscapes of Capital is an ongoing attempt by Robert Goldman, Stephen Papson and Noah Kersey to write a multimedia Web-based book dedicated to studying how corporate television commercials portray a world shaped and defined by global capitalism.

Drawing on over 800 TV commercials the authors try to conceptually map the landscapes and narratives of capital, technology, and globalization as seen in corporate TV ads.

The site is organized around six themes, globalizaiton, capital, landscapes, advertising semiotics, grand narratives and speed. Each of the theme maps is linked to a bibliography, database, illustrated glossary, and index.

This is a very intriguing site, highly recommended!
