Abstract

Chuck Palahniuk's 1996 novella Fight Club narrates the experience of adult men disaffected by modern consumer culture who form underground boxing clubs before developing them into clandestine social terrorist groups aimed at destroying hyper-capitalist culture. Read as a critique on the emasculation of the North American male engendered by a lifestyle devoid of authentic meaning and devoted to shallow consumerism, the fictional events of Fight Club parallel the sense of vanishing individual autonomy before corporate multi-nationalism held by many in the anti-corporate activism movement. The 30 November, 1999, World Trade Organization (WTO) meeting in Seattle, Washington, known colloquially as the "Battle in Seattle," reflected the actual resentment and opposition to international trade agencies (including the WTO, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Bank) when in excess of 40,000 people mobilized in protest outside the Washington State Convention and Trade Center. This riot sparked the largest gathering of anti-globalization protest hitherto witnessed in the United States, garnering international media and public attention.
