AB This undergraduate thesis examines the communicative strategies employed in Fight Club, with a focus on identity formation and transformation. This analysis centres on the communication style of Tyler Durden, a charismatic leader who emerges as the alter ego of the Narrator, a clerk victim to consumerism. Tyler’s rhetorical power is key to the formation and evolution of Fight Club, which starts as a space of masculine escape to a worldwide subversive organization against societal norms. This study analyses these communication strategies based on a range of communication theories related to the central themes of the film and the intricate interactive issues taking place within interpersonal communication. The findings reveal that Tyler makes an efficient use of metacommunication, verbal, paralinguistic strategies and interpersonal strategies to influence others and accomplish his objectives. Such communication extends beyond words, which shows how discourse can construct both individual identity and group ideology.
