  Commanding Heights : Naomi Klein | on PBS

NAOMI KLEIN: A crisis in democracy means that you simply have democracy on paper, but you are in a context in which people simply accept that power's too big, too remote to affect it.

 No-Brands-Land
Klein's understanding of the complex ways in which consumers interact with brands is, to a large degree, because she is -- and always has been -- a part of the same world that she is critiquing.
Klein was further impressed by the younger activists' sense of fun and by their talent for "culture jamming" -- parodying ads in order to challenge the message that those ads purported to tell.
Klein's assessment of the anticorporate movement as a whole is not entirely uncritical, and she wouldn't want it to be.

 Interview: Naomi Klein | Special reports | The Observer
Klein is the 30 year-old author of No Logo, a book which came out in Britain at the beginning of this year to rapturous reviews, and which has since developed a life of its own.
Philip Klein, her grandfather, was an animator at Disney, and organised the first strike there, as a result of which he was sacked and fllisted.
Klein responds by referring to the World Bank and the IMF: 'One thing to say to that is that an extraordinarily coherent vision can be really dangerous, and people get so attached to it and seduced by it that they force the world into it.

 Anis Shivani: The Miseducation of Naomi Klein
Klein and her fellow anti-globalizers do not come to terms with the paradox of using the very narratives of postindustrial globalization to freeze some of the world in a pre-industrial stage of development.
Klein assumes breathtaking progress on this front since the movement took off in the mid-nineties, but the superiority of the forces aligned against even minimal consciousness-raising when it comes to settled economic paradigms is truly awesome.
Klein engages in her characteristic move of quickly acknowledging the obvious criticism, before hastily refuting it and moving on to the next exciting symbol of protest.

Klein went back to university in 1995 to try to finish her degree, and something very clearly had changed.

 "America is Not a Hamburger" - A BuzzFlash interview with Naomi Klein, Author of No Logo and Fences and ...
BuzzFlash was pleased to recently interview Naomi Klein, the foremost author chronicling the adverse impacts of economic globalization.
The two title images recur throughout: the fences are real, steel cages keeping protesters from interfering with summits, but they are also metaphorical, such as the "fence" of poverty that prevents the poor from receiving adequate education or health care.
KLEIN: Well, democracy implies the ability to come up with your own judgments, whereas branding is an exercise in controlling people's judgments, and managing them, and shaping them.

 Amazon.fr : No Logo (en anglais): Livres: Naomi Klein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
When Klein talks about how easy it is for retailers like Wal-Mart and Blockbuster to "censor" the contents of videotapes and albums, she also considers the role corporate conglomeration plays in the process.
Klein's book is well researched, organized and presented and she makes her points without being overly pedantic.
This also allows Klein to avoid a sense of futility in her descriptions of corporate earth - her humourous and incisive tone inspires the reader to become active, which I feel is particularly important in this critical economic crossroads, rather than pessimistic or suicidal.

 Naomi Klein : No Logo : An article by spike magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Klein doesn't need to lecture you about the increasing ubiquity of sales messages - she lets the facts speak for themselves as she describes universities where Coca-Cola is "the official soft drink", schools where the mega-brands have their logos on textbooks and toilet cubicles, and university departments wholly reliant on corporate sponsorship.
Klein is more enamoured with activists such as the defendants in the McLibel trial, who successfully raised awareness of many of McDonalds' activities, and the semi-political "reclaim the streets" movement.
While Klein clearly believes that Reclaim The Streets is one of a number of groups that will define the politics of the future, the fact that most of the population believe the group's members are all drug-crazed anti-car crusties shows the difficulties inherent in swimming against the tide of globalisation and media concentration.

 Democracy Now! | Naomi Klein Reveals New Details About U.S. Military Shooting of Italian War Correspondent in Iraq
NAOMI KLEIN: Well, what she told me, and this is once -- an incident that I know that has been reported on in the Italian press, but not so much in the American press, is that after the shooting, she was very injured.
NAOMI KLEIN: Well, Berlusconi is facing elections at the beginning of April, which is partially why he needs to be seen to be taking somewhat of a tough line with the U.S. He doesn't -- he is not facing presidential elections.
NAOMI KLEIN: Well, this would support what Giuliana told me, which is that the road she was on was not the public road that other journalists have traveled on, and that contractors and so on travel on, the very dangerous road.

Naomi criticized branding in No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies not because there's anything intrinsically wrong with logos, but because brands are developed—and their logos are designed—to market products that are produced through the exploitation and impoverishment of workers and communities in the poorest parts of the world.

When Klein talks about how easy it is for retailers like Wal-Mart and Blockbuster to "censor" the contents of videotapes and albums, she also considers the role corporate conglomeration plays in the process.
Naomi Klein sketches perfectly the major shift in corporate strategy today: transnational companies are not interested in production anymore, only in branding: products are made in factories, brands in the mind.
While Naomi Klein's analysis of our consumer planet is very revealing, the remedies she proposes are rather innocent, epidermic, symptom healing or too general: ad and brand busting, radical ecology (Reclaim the Streets), anti-globalization and anti-corporate mass protests, boycott, building greater critical social consciousness.

 Naomi Klein - anti-globalisation's poster girl - 07 Jul 2001 - NZ Herald: New Zealand National news
Canadian author Naomi Klein's hotel window takes in an expanse of the glistening Waitemata Harbour, a blanket of cloudless sky and the graceful arc of motorways and harbour bridge between.
She weighs questions carefully and conveys the sense that what she is saying is fresh and new to her, a rare attribute for someone who has been interviewed to exhaustion since her book, No Logo, was published almost two years ago and rocketed into bestseller lists.
Klein says while corporations are superficially adopting the argot of the activists' ideas, the activists are deepening their critiques "to get at the systems behind the symptoms" and questioning the nature of capitalism.
