On a more straightforwardly analytic and scholarly note: the movement, however leaderless and de-centered, has produced some striking images. Below, for instance, is the poster for today's actions. Some of the signs and images in Zuccotti Park and elsewhere have also been notable. I'm wondering if anyone has started working on a visual analysis of the movement, or has come across any good such work online or elsewhere.

Any students (or other readers) who are out there on the streets today--whether as protesters, reporters, ethnographers, observers, or trying to get to your job or internship on Wall Street--who can report on what's going on, please do! You can reply here in the comments area, or if you need more space or need to include images or links, I can temporarily authorize you as an author on this blog. As always, all perspectives are welcome so long as they're civil and thoughtful.

An article I stumbled upon with examples of striking graphics from the Occupy movement.
