Marketing Graffiti The Writing on the Wall

Marketing Graffiti The Writing on the Wall

Radical and unique in its approach and presentation Marketing Graffiti turns the traditional marketing introduction on its head by helping students to understand the part they already play as ‘consumers’ in the marketing process. Most marketing textbooks tackle the subject as a business function – i. e. how to do marketing in companies and other organizations. Marketing Graffiti shows how marketing is not just a business function but a part of our culture and one in which we are all active as part-time marketers. By rejecting managerially-driven structures in this way Saren's approach makes marketing immediate and instantly recognizable as a process and a phenomenon in which we are already complicit. It helps readers to become aware of what they already know. Critically examining a wide range of products businesses technologies information services ads packaging and branding Saren utilizes everyday images and phenomena to draw out the conceptual foundations of marketing from a social science and cultural studies perspective as something that we all experience in everyday life. This new edition of the first critical marketing textbook discusses the role new technologies (such as social media) play in marketing culture and how this can potentially place more power in the clicks of the consumer. It includes new updated or expanded sections on market exclusion the role of the consumer in innovation space and place pricing consumer communities collaborative consumption and social media marketing. Leading experts in these fields of research and marketing practice also contribute additional sections on these topics.

Prestige Television and Prison in the Age of Mass Incarceration A Wall Rise Up

Prestige Television and Prison in the Age of Mass Incarceration A Wall Rise Up

Television shows that we might call ‘prestige television’ represent prison in ways that are sometimes reductive sometimes powerful and sometimes exceedingly complex. This book examines various programmes across the genres of drama comedy and horror that utilize prison or places of incarceration as a central theme or setting to show how they conform to or challenge the standard conversation about the prison industrial complex and the common understanding of prisons as violent spaces where we house the worst among us. Drawing on the work of Angela Davis Doran Larson Dylan Rodriguez Michelle Alexander and Lisa Guenther the author presents focused studies of Orange Is the New Black Rectify American Horror Story and The Walking Dead (along with briefer discussions of The 100 police procedurals and popular sitcoms) to explore the responsibility of television to represent prison in as authentic a fashion as possible the exploitation of the incarcerated in reductive representations of prison and the shifting nature of the national conversation about prison as it is depicted on screen. As such the book will appeal to scholars of cultural and media studies criminology and sociology with interests in incarceration and representations of prison in popular culture. | Prestige Television and Prison in the Age of Mass Incarceration A Wall Rise Up

After Globalization Crisis and Disintegration

After Globalization Crisis and Disintegration

In the 1980s U. S. officials adopted tax and monetary policies that channeled huge new resources into Wall Street which fueled a stock market boom. To increase profits and payouts to investors as stock prices soared corporate managers consolidated businesses outsourced manufacturing to low-wage countries and adopted new technologies to increase productivity. Government officials then facilitated mergers and negotiated free trade agreements to speed the process of globalization. Wall Street became an engine of capital accumulation and a force for global change. These developments resulted in massive job losses and stagnant wages for most Americans. Meanwhile tax cuts and the stock market boom created vast new wealth for the rich and the top 10 percent seized 50 percent of all income in the United States. The result was growing economic inequality. During the decades that followed globalization triggered regional economic crises toppled governments transformed societies galvanized economic development in China and created new forms of wealth and inequality around the world. Then in 2008 a financial crisis rooted in Wall Street triggered the Great Recession wrecked the legitimacy of globalization as a development strategy and unleashed populist or restrictionist social movements and political parties that challenged globalization and attacked its economic and political foundations. This book examines the origins of globalization in the 1980s the developments that triggered the Great Recession and the political and economic forces that contributed to the disintegration of globalization as a force for change in the modern world. After Globalization explains what happened—and what comes next. | After Globalization Crisis and Disintegration

US Foreign Policy and the End of the Cold War in Africa A Bridge between Global Conflict and the New World Order 1988-1994

This book investigates the end of the Cold War in Africa and its impact on post-Cold War US foreign policy in the continent. The fall of the Berlin Wall is widely considered the end of the Cold War; however it documents just one of the many ends since the Cold War was a global conflict. This book looks at one of the most neglected extra-European battlegrounds the African continent and explores how American foreign policy developed in this region between the late 1980s and the early 1990s. Drawing on a wide range of recently disclosed documents the book shows that the Cold War in Africa ended in 1988 preceding the fall of the Berlin Wall. It also reveals how since then some of the most controversial and inconsistent episodes of post-Cold War US foreign policy in Africa have been deeply rooted in the unique process whereby American rivalry with the USSR found its end in the continent. The book challenges the traditional narrative by presenting an original perspective on the study of the end of the Cold War and provides new insights into the shaping of US foreign policy during the so-called ‘unipolar moment’. This book will be of much interest to students of Cold War history US foreign policy African politics and international relations. | US Foreign Policy and the End of the Cold War in Africa A Bridge between Global Conflict and the New World Order 1988-1994

The March to Capitalism in the Transition Countries

The March to Capitalism in the Transition Countries

First published in 1998 this book analyses and reconsiders one of the great economic dramas of Western history the march to capitalism in Russia Hungary Poland and the Czech Republic. The period is from 1989 after the fall of the Berlin Wall when the liberated countries rushed headlong into democracy and capitalism. Special emphasis is on the role often misunderstood played by the Western-dominated aid agencies the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. They were called in while the Western countries dawdled and made empty promises. They basically financed and guided the transition their own funds amounting to $50 billion while issuing free-market strictures in the process. This reflected the supremacy of such ideology in the Thatcher-Reagan era. Russia in its agony offers a laboratory for the conflicting claims of free-market theory against a more pragmatic experimental approach. China's hybrid-capitalism is also analyzed and compared. | The March to Capitalism in the Transition Countries

Given its holistic and nuanced intervention in studies of the Cold War this book will be instrumental for students of history international relations and political science. | Margins for Manoeuvre in Cold War Europe The Influence of Smaller Powers

Occupying Space in American Literature and Culture Static Heroes Social Movements and Empowerment

Occupying Space in American Literature and Culture Static Heroes Social Movements and Empowerment

Occupying Space in American Literature and Culture inscribes itself within the spatial turn that permeates the ways we look at literary and cultural productions. The volume seeks to clarify the connections between race space class and identity as it concentrates on different occupations and disoccupations enclosures and boundaries. Space is scaled up and down from the body the ground zero of spatiality to the texturology of Manhattan; from the striated place of the office in Melville’s Bartleby the Scrivener on Wall Street to the striated spaces of internment camps and reservations; from the lowest of the low the (human) clutter that lined the streets of Albany NY during the Depression to the new Towers of Babel that punctuate the contemporary architecture of transparencies. As it strings together these spatial narratives the volume reveals how beyond the boundaries that characterize each space every location has loose ends that are impossible to contain. | Occupying Space in American Literature and Culture Static Heroes Social Movements and Empowerment

Diasporic Social Mobilization and Political Participation during the Arab Uprisings

Diasporic Social Mobilization and Political Participation during the Arab Uprisings

The Arab protest movements of 2010-2011 gave momentum and inspiration to unprecedented political mobilisations of migrants of Arab origin whether first generation second generation or more in Europe North and South-America. This book analyses the essential yet understudied role of Arab diasporas during the Arab revolutions dissecting the new forms of diasporic mobilisations that emerged during the ‘Arab Spring’ and that were borrowed as much from the home countries’ repertoire of innovations as from global movements’ tactics from Wall Street to Sao Paulo. This collection is a very timely and much-welcome contribution to our understanding of the nexus between immigration and integration. At a time when the engagement of European youth in faraway violent conflicts is hitting the headlines all over Europe this book offers balanced and renewed academic perspectives on migrants belonging analysing how migrants use political engagement to assert their belonging in newly-imagined home countries and conversely how they get involved in the politics of their origin countries to bolster their identity in host nations. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Studies. | Diasporic Social Mobilization and Political Participation during the Arab Uprisings

Rebellion in America Citizen Uprisings the News Media and the Politics of Plutocracy

Rebellion in America Citizen Uprisings the News Media and the Politics of Plutocracy

In a time of rising inequality and plutocratic government citizens’ movements are emerging with growing frequency to offer populist challenges to the declining living standards of masses of Americans and to protest the conditions through which individuals suffer in poor communities across the country. This book looks at the progression of modern social uprisings in the post-2008 period including the Tea Party Occupy Wall Street Black Lives Matter the Bernie Sanders “Revolution ” Trump’s populism the anti-Trump revolt and #MeToo. A key theme is that populism and mass anger at the political-economic status quo take different forms depending on whether the protests are progressive-left or right-wing in orientation. Employing theories of elite politics and pluralism and using a mixed methods approach Anthony DiMaggio harnesses his rich experience with movement politics and his engagement with a wide range of media and public opinion data to explain where we are today and how we got here – always with an eye on moving ahead. Aimed at courses on social movements wherever they’re taught this book also offers general readers insight into contemporary politics and protest. | Rebellion in America Citizen Uprisings the News Media and the Politics of Plutocracy

John Ruskin and the Fabric of Architecture

John Ruskin and the Fabric of Architecture

Through the theoretical lenses of dress studies gender science and visual studies this volume analyses the impact John Ruskin has had on architecture throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It explores Ruskin’s different ideologies such as the adorned wall veil which were instrumental in bringing focus to structures that were previously unconsidered. John Ruskin and the Fabric of Architecture examines the ways in which Ruskin perceives the evolution of architecture through the idea that architecture is surface. The creative act in architecture analogous to the divine act of creation was viewed as a form of dressing. By adding highly aesthetic features to designs taking inspiration from the 'veil' of women’s clothing Ruskin believed that buildings could be transformed into meaningful architecture. This volume discusses the importance of Ruskin’s surface theory and the myth of feminine architecture and additionally presents a competing theory of textile analogy in architecture based on morality and gender to counter Gottfried Semper’s historicist perspective. This book would be beneficial to students and academics of architectural history and theory gender studies and visual studies who wish to delve into Ruskin’s theories and to further understand his capacity for thinking beyond the historical methods. The book will also be of interest to architectural practitioners particularly Ruskin’s theory of surface architecture.

Urban Quay Walls

Urban Quay Walls

Since the thirteenth century quay walls of significant retaining height have been built in the Netherlands in urban environments. Over time structural revisions were often carried out due to excessive deformations or the use of increasingly larger and deeper vessels. These historic quay walls were seldom designed for the current functional requirements they are subjected to. These mostly older quay walls require more maintenance and revisions to secure a certain degree of safety. In some cases they need to be demolished and completely rebuilt. Urban Quay Walls offers safety protocols and a clear approach on how to inspect design and maintain urban quay walls. The book offers: - an insight on the development of urban quay walls; - a description of the main forms (as used in The Netherlands); - quicksteps for the inspection of existing quay walls. Urban Quay Walls presents a proposal for a uniform and standardised method to verify the actual state of current quay walls in urban environments. This handbook presents an overview of the development of urban quay walls over the course of time and describes the main types in use in the Netherlands. Subsequently a method is presented for deciding whether or not a historic quay wall needs to be renovated renewed or maintained.

The Poetics of Conflict Experience Materiality and Embodiment in Second World War Italy

The Poetics of Conflict Experience Materiality and Embodiment in Second World War Italy

Seventy years after the end of the Second World War we still do not fully appreciate the intensity of the lived experience of people and communities involved in resistance movements and subjected to German occupation. Yet the enduring conjunction between individuals things and place cannot be understated: from plaques on the wall to the beloved yellowing relics of private museums materiality is paramount to any understanding of conflict experience and its poetics. This book reasserts the role of the senses the imagination and emotion in the Italian war experience and its remembrance practices by tracing a cultural geography of the everyday material worlds of the conflict and by digging deep into the multifaceted interweaving of place person and conflict dynamics. Loneliness displacement and paranoia were all emotional states shared by resistance activists and their civilian supporters. But what about the Fascists? And the Germans? In a civil war and occupation where shifting allegiances and betrayal were frequent traditional binary codes of friend-foe cannot exist uncritically. This book incorporates these different actors’ perceptions their competing and discordant materialities and their shared – yet different – sense of loss and placelessness through witness accounts storytelling and memoirs. | The Poetics of Conflict Experience Materiality and Embodiment in Second World War Italy
