Every bar you go into, punchedout guys want to buy you a beer. And no, sir, they've never met this Tyler Durden. And they wink. They've never heard the name before. Sir. I ask about fight club. Is there a fight club around here, tonight? No, sir. The second rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club. The punched-out guys at the bar shake their heads. Never heard of it. Sir.

As a result of this decision, more bifurcations branched out in chapter 17 and 24. In chapter 17, Tyler demands more young men to join them. To do so, only resilient men are chosen (Palahniuk, p. 129). These men are labelled as space monkeys because according to Tyler, they are the people who act according to the instructions with no question asked: “...do the little job you’re trained to do. Pull a lever. Push a button. You don’t understand any of it, and then you just die,” (Palahniuk, p. 12). This is alluded to the monkeys and apes that were sent into space by NASA as test subjects before sending humans. Since Project Mayhem is Tyler’s first attempt to construct anarchy, the members are considered as test subjects as well, akin to the pawns in chess game.

“We look forward to getting you back.” (208) If Fincher had been totally faithful to Palahniuk’s original, this final scene – included over his flimsier albeit more spectacular apotheosis – would probably have subordinated the narrator’s self-reflexive examination and instead exacerbated the facial wounds of the incognito fight club members. Though Palahniuk includes the descriptions of the cuts and scars that denote their belonging to Tyler’s brand of masculinity, the reader’s attention is diverted to consider the implications of Tyler’s return – not the dismantled faces of his displaced proselytes. It is this cele bration of spectacle and visuality that renders Fincher’s adaptation a more accessible (and more strident) articulation of Fight Club’s failure. An inclusion of Fincher’s adaptation should, however, provide another platform upon which the contradictions and innate shortcomings of the fight clubs can be examined. As I have previously mentioned, the cinematic signifiers of a hard, highly toned body – often in conjunction with political tropes that signify American dominance and the reheroicization 10 of the Vietnam wars – are replete in the ‘high-concept’ 11 films of the 1980s that valorize the masculine physique and make it “a key aesthetic signature” (Witham 2).

57 Freedom as a freedom of trade, unaffected by “coercion of a man by his fellow men” (Friedman 15), is conceptualized as an ideology which justifies inequality and depends on exploitation. The introduction of guns into Fight Club occurs as a pivotal moment in the story, which highlights how this specific conceptualization of freedom paradoxically depends on oppression. “It was so heavy for something so small,” the narrator describes the gun Tyler shows him, “as if a giant thing like a mountain or a sun were collapsed and melted down to make this” (122). Tyler views the gun as a powerful extension of the masculine body and lectures how “the barrel of the gun focuses the exploding power and the rocketing slug like a missile out of a silo, like our jism, in one direction” (122). The gun’s ability to consolidate power in physical form amplifies the novel’s critique of neoliberal freedom as a construct which allows a small elite to exercise power over exploited workers. “Tyler didn’t care if other people got hurt or not,” the narrator realizes, “The goal was to teach each man in the project that he had the power to control history” (122). The first time the narrator actually uses the gun occurs when he threatens an all-night-store clerk and forces him to talk about his failed dreams. “I know who you are,” the narrator tells the clerk after the clerk has told him that he wants to be a vet, “I know where you live. I’m keeping your license, and I’m going to check on you, mister Raymond K. Hessel. In three months, and then in six months and then in a year, and if you aren’t back in school on your way to being a veterinarian, you will be dead” (154). This scene reveals the sharp contrast between freedom as an ideology of unlimited power and its practical limitations; not only does the narrator ignore the social and financial

something—particularly violence—to save himself; however, Tyler begins to war against him, changing from a salvific to a damning figure. Project Mayhem, as an extension of fight club, should theoretically bring the narrator more liberation from the suffocating aspects of his job and lifestyle, but the organization is just as stifling as what it tries to break from. 21 Though the group seeks to liberate, “the goal of Project Mayhem had nothing to do with other people. Tyler didn’t care if other people got hurt or not. The goal was to teach each man in the project that he had the power to control history. We, each of us, can take control of the world” (122). Though Tyler promises the members of Project Mayhem that they have the power to control the world, he continually dehumanizes them and sees them as valuable only if they serve a function of the project. He and the narrator refer to the members as “space monkeys,” language that recalls the opening scene of the novel, where the narrator is atop the Parker-Morris building, about to be killed: “It’s so quiet this high up, the feeling you get is that you’re one of those space monkeys. You do the little job you’re trained to do. Pull a lever. Push a button. You don’t understand any of it and, then you just die” (12). If this passage were read in isolation with the idea that Tyler is Palahniuk’s thematic mouthpiece, then criticism that suggests Palahniuk’s nihilism 22 would be accurate; however, Palahniuk is not arguing for an anarchist break from society or a revolution. Rather, the narrator is illustrating how Project Mayhem, as an organization trying to break free of corruption, eventually corrupts

This paper examines theory and behavior in a two-player game of siege, sequential attack and defense. The attacker’s objective is to successfully win at least one battle while the defender’s objective is to win every battle. Theoretically, the defender either folds immediately or, if his valuation is sufficiently high and the number of battles is sufficiently small, then he has a constant incentive to fight in each battle. Attackers respond to defense with diminishing assaults over time. Consistent with theoretical predictions, our experimental results indicate that the probability of successful defense increases in the defenders valuation and it decreases in the overall number of battles in the contest. However, the defender engages in the contest significantly more often than predicted and the aggregate expenditures by both parties exceed predicted levels. Moreover, both defenders and attackers actually increase the intensity of the fight as they approach the end of the contest.

In retrospect, although the Char- ter has helped Canadian women, women were right to have doubts about it. A far more effective av- enue for change might have been to amend our electoral system. In coun- tries where there are more women in Parliament, many of the laws we had to fight for in the courts were changed through legislation, costing far less both in time and money.… Over 75 countries use some form of

We are mailing new Preferred Supplier Member Discount cards on January 10th. Your member- ship will be extended through at least September 2021 for no charge, and possibly as far as August 2022, depending on when you joined the club. Your new member discount card will include both the month and year of your dues expiration. We hope you’ll agree that this is fair way to make this change, given the effect of Covid on our ability to get together in person. Those of you who joined in the fall originally received a few extra months of membership your first year, and those who joined in the spring received less than a full first year under the old system, so after your renewal date is moved, everyone will have received roughly the same benefit for their first year (however long ago that was for you). Thank you all for your support! If you have any questions about your membership, please send them to Brian at data@dmwoodworkers.org.
