How does advertising position itself in consumer culture? In what ways does it 'create' desire and wants? This richly illustrated, incisive text produces the most complete critical introduction to advertising culture.

Advertising in Modern and Postmodern Times:

provides a comprehensive discussion of the main theories
shows you how real adverts work, together with reproductions of advertising images and copy
demonstrates how advertising constructs subjects
provides an instructive historical overview of advertising
explores the relationship between advertising and industrial capitalism.

Industry Reviews

There is much to be praised in the book... This book radicalizes the conventional treatment of the topic by the marketing literature, and for that matter some of the sociology of consumption literature. Ultimately, this book is a valuable addition to the study of time, space and society...the book should appeal to a wide audience within sociology, social psychology, cultural studies, social history and media studies. My hope is that the advertising community,both academic and practical, consumes the text and that it forms part of a disruptive praxis for them Sociology
