Sinopsis

Advertising, once seen as ?the official art of capitalist society? is an increasingly commonplace component of a characteristically promotional culture. Iain MacRury?s Advertising offers the means to explore and evaluate this transition with an introduction to advertising for the contemporary reader.Advertising provides a clear and easy guide to a changing cultural and commercial genre. It explores how advertising can be studied as a cultural industry, and as a sign system, and how adverts and the reception of adverts can be considered drawing on approaches from literary criticism, structuralism, post-structuralism, psychoanalysis and ethnography.Written in an accessible and interesting style, Advertising is the ideal introductory book for students of media, communication and journalism.
