Advertising and Cultural Politics in Global Times

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Advertising and Cultural Politics in Global Times traces daringly transgressive convergences between cultural politics and global advertising media. By drawing on the work of Baudrillard, Giroux, Foucault, Castells and Latour, this volume illustrates the manner in which advertising continues to revolutionize the political sphere and as such, will be of interest to a range of readers across media studies, cultural studies and sociology.
