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.
