Bücher von Pamela Odih

Traces transgressive convergences between cultural politics and global advertising media. This book examines advertising as a 'technology of signs' intricately bound up with both the expansion of global networked capitalism, and the forms of cultural political resistances that globalization has precipitated.

How does advertising position itself in consumer culture? In what ways does it 'create' desire and wants? This book presents an introduction to advertising culture. It: provides a comprehensive discussion of the main theories; and shows you how real adverts work, together with reproductions of advertising images and copy.
