Now available in a significantly updated second edition featuring two new chapters, Social Communication in Advertising remains the most comprehensive historical study of advertising and its function within contemporary society. It traces advertising's influence within three key social domains: the new commodities industry; popular culture; and the mass media which manages the constellation of images that unifies all three.
Sut Jhally Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Sut Jhally je popredný svetový učenec skúmajúci úlohu reklamy a populárnej kultúry v procesoch sociálnej kontroly a konštruovania identity. Prostredníctvom svojich početných publikácií a ocenených filmov skúma, ako médiá ovplyvňujú naše vnímanie rodu, sexuality, rasy, komercializmu, násilia a politiky. Jhallyho práca sa hlboko ponára do mechanizmov, ktorými komerčné sily a mediálne naratívy formujú naše presvedčenia a hodnoty. Jeho analýza ponúka prenikavý pohľad na zložitú súhru medzi médiami, kultúrou a mocou v modernej spoločnosti.

This book is a radical attempt to lay out the complex ways in which the American media and American culture are powerfully interlocked.
