In the United States, advertising has carved out an essential place in American culture, and advertising messages undoubtedly play a significant role in determining how people interpret the world around them. This three-volume set examines the myriad ways that advertising has influenced many aspects of 20th-century American society, such as popular culture, politics, and the economy. Advertising not only played a critical role in selling goods to an eager public, but it also served to establish the now world-renowned consumer culture of our country and fuel the notion of "the American dream." The collection spotlights the most important advertising campaigns, brands, and companies in American history, from the late 1800s to modern day. Each fact-driven essay provides insight and in-depth analysis that general readers will find fascinating as well as historical details and contextual nuance students and researchers will greatly appreciate. These volumes demonstrate why advertising is absolutely necessary, not only for companies behind the messaging, but also in defining what it means to be an American.

Cult Pop Culture by Bob Batchelor Pdf

This three-volume collection of original essays examines cult pop culture, the often-seedy underbelly of American popular culture. Cult Pop Culture: How the Fringe Became Mainstream is the first collection dedicated to the quirky, offbeat aspects of American popular culture that people have loved, enjoyed, (and in some cases) worshiped over the last 50 years. By examining the people and subjects we hold most dear, this three-volume set offers deep insights into what Americans think, feel, and cherish. Organized by subject, the collection enables readers to focus on a given topic or compare different subjects across cult phenomenon. Volume One of the set covers film and television topics, Volume Two examines music and literature, and Volume Three explores sports, clubs, and the cult industry. Through this investigation of sublime, transcendent, and idiosyncratic trends, readers will learn more about iconic individuals, topics, and subjects that form the vast underbelly of American culture. By revealing how tightly interwoven cult topics are with the public's broader notion of popular culture, the collection underscores the blurry line between normal and abnormal, grandiose and degradation.

Cash Flow by Camilla Mørk Røstvik Pdf

The menstrual product industry has played a large role in shaping the last hundred years of menstrual culture, from technological innovation to creative advertising, education in classrooms and as employers of thousands in factories around the world. How much do we know about this sector and how has it changed in later decades? What constitutes ‘the industry’, who works in it, and how is it adapting to the current menstrual equity movement? Cash Flow provides a new academic study of the menstrual corporate landscape that links its twentieth-century origins to the current ‘menstrual moment’. Drawing on a range of previously unexplored archival materials and interviews with industry insiders, each chapter examines one key company and brand: Saba in Norway, Essity in Sweden, Tambrands in the Soviet Union, Procter & Gamble in Britain and Europe, Kimberly-Clark in North America, and start-ups Clue and Thinx. By engaging with these corporate collections, the book highlights how the industry has survived as its consumers continually change.

The Sponsored Life by Leslie Savan Pdf

How do Nike or Pepsi ads convince you that you're a rebellious individual-even while they sell you the same sneakers or sugar water bought by millions? How does a company associated with a disaster, Exxon or DuPont, for example, restore its reputation? What gender and racial stereotypes lurk in TV commercials for beer, cars, cologne, and diamond rings? And what is the deeper meaning of living in an ad, ad, ad world? For more than a decade, journalist Leslie Savan exposed the techniques advertisers use to push products and pump up corporate images. In the lively essays in this collection, Savan penetrates beneath the slick surfaces of specific ads and marketing campaigns to show how they both reflect and shape our lives. Savan's pioneering use of advertising as a lens to examine society and politics made her a three-time Pulitzer Prize finalist. "With unerring perception," the 1992 Pulitzer jury in criticism wrote, Savan "has seen advertising, PR and political chicanery as a new field of socio-aesthetic criticism. Her merciless prose impales both the electronic and print media." Though technology and tastes have changed since Savan's essays first appeared in The Village Voice, her analysis is timeless. The fundamentals of exploiting desire remain the same: sex and fear, flattery and patriotism, humor and cool still sell.
