Introduction

I will be writing about my personal relationship with the characters on Jersey Shore.


I am writing about these characters because I like them, and because they remain human in spite or maybe even because of their participating in late capitalism.

In this sense Jersey Shore is the forefront of the anti-capitalist struggle.


This is to say, they are the forefront of the struggle in me. Because they infect me with the spirit of capital, which I grew up on, which feels like a good addiction. I am interested in what these characters do to my body.
