    Book SynopsisExamining theory and practice, Advertising and Anthropology is a lively and important contribution to the study of organizational culture, consumption practices, marketing to consumers and the production of creativity in corporate settingsTrade ReviewWith an unprecedented depth of ethnography, Malefyt and Morais' primer makes huge strides in expanding the dialogue between applied and academic anthropology. * George Marcus, Director, Center for Ethnography, University of California, Irvine *This volume presents an insider's perspective of complementary professions that is sure to provoke a swift reaction from agencies and the academy. Advertising is a way of construing the world, and anthropology can inform and unpack that construal. Apprentices, read this book as you plan a career. Journeymen, study this book as you rethink your career. Mentors, teach this book as you guide the careers of others. * John F. Sherry, Herrick Professor & Department Chair of Marketing, University of Notre Dame *A candid portrayal of life in the advertising world... this is a unique and courageous contribution to business anthropology by two of its most experienced practitioners. * Marietta Baba, Dean and Professor at the College of Social Science, Michigan State University *Ethnography is Anthropology's biggest export. Malefyt and Morais take the practice of ethnography to the world of advertising, and do an ethnography of that world. The results are profoundly illuminating, and make this book essential reading for advertisers and anthropologists alike. * David Howes, Professor of Anthropology, Concordia University, Montreal *Malefyt and Morais' book, Advertising and Anthropology, is an excellent behind-the-scenes manual for students and young professionals looking to break into the advertising business... those who aspire to break into the business would be wise to learn something about anthropology. * Dawn Lerman, Director, Centre for Positive Marketing, Fordham University, USA *Advertising and Anthropology provides valuable insight into the ways that anthropology can effectively (if controversially) participate in the modern corporate world as well as ways that advertising/business anthropology reflects and rethinks conventional disciplinary tools and concepts. * Anthropology Review Database *Malefyt and Morais have made a significant contribution to applied anthropology with this work. It joins works of others, like Jordan's Business Anthropology, in building the methods and reputation for anthropology in the non-academic arena. * Anthropological Notebooks *Table of ContentsPreface Part One: IntroductionAnthropologists In and Out of Advertising Part Two: Toward an Understanding of Advertising AgenciesAdvertising Meetings and Client RelationshipsRituals of Creativity in Advertising AgenciesFieldwork in Advertising ResearchAdvertising EmotionsCreativity, Person and Place Part Three: Applying Anthropology in Advertising AgenciesAdvertising, Automobiles and the Branding of LuxuryBusiness Anthropology Beyond EthnographyEthics in AdvertisingHybrid Research Methodologies and Business Success Part Four: ConclusionThe Future of Advertising Anthropology ReferencesIndex

  • Taylor & Francis Asia through Art and Anthropology Cultural

    15 in stock

    Book Synopsis* AWARDED BEST ANTHOLOGY BY THE ART ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND *How has Asia been imagined, represented and transferred both literally and visually across linguistic, geopolitical and cultural boundaries? This book explores the shifting roles of those who produce, critique and translate creative forms and practices, for which distinctions of geography, ethnicity, tradition and modernity have become fluid. Drawing on accounts of modern and contemporary art, film, literature, fashion and performance, it challenges established assumptions of the cultural products of Asia.Special attention is given to the role of cultural translators or 'long-distance cultural specialists' whose works bridge or traverse different worlds, with the inclusion of essays by three important artists who share personal accounts of their experiences creating and showing artworks that negotiate diverse cultural contexts.With contributions from key scholars of Asian art and culture, including art historian John Clark and anthropologist Clare Harris, alongside fresh voices in the field, Asia Through Art and Anthropology will be essential reading for students and scholars of anthropology, art history, Asian studies, visual and cultural studies.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The publication of the color plates of works by Phaptawan Suwannakudt and Savanhdary Vongpoothorn is funded by the Australian Government.Trade Review"Asia through Art and Anthropology is an ambitious project ... [and] a rich presentation of intercultural experiences across Asia ... The chapters are carefully chosen and thoughtfully arranged ... This is an important source not only for art historians, but also for anyone interested in the reality and diversity of Asian cultures today. - Asian Ethnology An original and wide-ranging collection that unravels the complexities of the category of translation in Asian art and aesthetics. The varied contributions by art historians, anthropologists, and artists explore multiple Asian perspectives on the translation and interpretation of art both in theory and practice. This engaging and attractive book will be of enormous value to scholars and students of Asian art and aesthetics, cultural translation, and of globalization, art and aesthetics. - James McHugh, Assistant Professor, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA Asia through Art and Anthropology highlights the lives of Asian visual artists through their life experiences and oeuvres, carving out a role for them as the negotiators of meaning in hybrid cultural situations. The book deepens our understanding of cultural expressions which are local yet transcultural, individualized yet cross borders. - Arne Røkkum, Professor, Univesity of Oslo, Norway"Table of ContentsAcknowledgementsList of ContributorsList of IllustrationsList of Color PlatesForeword - Howard Morphy, the Australian National University, AustraliaIntroduction - Fuyubi Nakamura, Tama Art University, Japan, Morgan Perkins, the State University of New York-potsdam, USA, and Olivier Krischer, Australian National University, AustraliaPart One: Art, Location and TravelAsian Artists as Long Distance Cultural Specialists in the Formation of Modernities - John Clark, the University of Sydney, Australia In and out of Place: Tibetan Artists' Travels in the Contemporary Art World - Clare Harris, University of Oxford, UKImagining 'Asian' Aesthetics in Colonial Hanoi: the École Des Beaux-arts De L'indochine (1925-45) - Phoebe Scott, University of Sydney, AustraliaComing Home: How 're-entry' Shaped the Work of a Contemporary Woman Artist in Taiwan - Natalie Seiz, the University of Sydney, AustraliaPainting on Location: Lin Haizhong and Contemporary Chinese Painting - Morgan Perkins, the State University of New York-Potsdam, USAPart Two: Artists' VoicesCatching the Moment, One Step at a Time - Phaptawan Suwannakudt, Independent Artist, Sydney, Australia Lifting Words, Floating Words - Savanhdary Vongpoothorn, Independent Artist, Canberra, Australia Typologic: Interactions Between the Intellect and the Senses - Chihiro Minato, Tama Art University, JapanPart Three: Image, Representation and Performance Some Indian 'Views of India': the Ethics of Representation - Christopher Pinney, University College London, UKFragile Polyphony: Takeda Taijun's Longing for Asia through the Landscape of Shen Congwen - Barbara Hartley, the University of Tasmania, AustraliaUnframing the Nation: The Moving Image and Its Parergon in Southeast Asia- David Teh, National University of Singapore, SingaporeThe 'Nationality' of Lolita Fashion - Masafumi Monden, the University of Technology, Sydney, AustraliaThe Impossibility of Performing 'Asia' - Catherine Diamond, Soochow University, Taipei, TaiwanIndex

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Consuming Behaviours

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn twentieth-century Britain, consumerism increasingly defined and redefined individual and social identities. New types of consumers emerged: the idealized working-class consumer, the African consumer and the teenager challenged the prominent position of the middle and upper-class female shopper. Linking politics and pleasure, Consuming Behaviours explores how individual consumers and groups reacted to changes in marketing, government control, popular leisure and the availability of consumer goods.From football to male fashion, tea to savings banks, leading scholars consider a wide range of products, ideas and services and how these were marketed to the British public through periods of imperial decline, economic instability, war, austerity and prosperity. The development of mass consumer society in Britain is examined in relation to the growing cultural hegemony and economic power of the United States, offering comparisons between British consumption patterns and those of other natioTrade Review"This is an outstanding collection of essays ... that should be required reading for both academics and students, for the sheer consistency of its scholarship and ambition across no fewer than fifteen chapters ... [It] is a fascinating and thought-provoking collection that will undoubtedly be read widely for years to come. - The English Historical Review A historical approach to culture and consumerism is a necessary ingredient to understanding contemporary life in a modern Western society like Britain, and anthropologists interested in capitalism, consumption, and modern lifestyles can benefit greatly from this country-specific investigation of politics, gender, pleasure, and the more or less intentional construction of an enduring modern subjectivity. - Anthropology Review Database The best essays in this collection explore... and collectively illustrate the imaginative work that can still be undertaken in the study of consumer culture in modern Britain. - Journal of Modern History"Table of Contents1.
