I was interested in this idea of the commodification of "revolution". Can anyone point me to any texts which discuss this ? There are a series of British ads. for cellular 'phones which use present themselves in the 'style' of a revolutionary poster, with the title slogan"revolution" which was brought to mind, an example of the present seen visually in utopian terms, a maneouver which certainly makes radicalizing 'thought-action' difficult to take root. Does anyone have any thoughts on this ? Jon Wilson
