Overview

This critical introductory text explores the role of advertising in contemporary culture and its connections to larger economic, social, and political forces. Written in an engaging and accessible style and incorporating a wide range of examples from around the world, the chapters introduce the key concepts, methods, and debates needed to analyse and understand advertising.

From an investigation of advertising's crucial function in media economics and our wider capitalist system to a consideration of the people who both make and watch advertising, this insightful text enables students to: make sense of advertising's powerful influence as both an economic force and an artistic form; assess the various claims of these two perspectives on advertising; and understand how they challenge and complicate one another. This revised second edition includes a new chapter on branding and promotional culture, and substantially updated content on topics like digital and online advertising, surveillance and empowerment, as well as brand new topics like self-branding/influencers and using technology to evade advertising.

Equipping students with the skills needed to partake in this lively discourse, the text is an invaluable resource for studying advertising critically. It is essential reading for students of advertising, media studies and communication studies.

Super cute, highly recommend
Color: Beige, Size: Small
Absolutely love this sweater, I purchased a size small and it fit perfectly. It’s very soft and can be worn with a button up shirt underneath or by itself. It was true to color and was white and black. Just like the picture showed. It’s not super warm by itself, but with a shirt underneath much warmer.

Light, soft sweater
Color: Beige, Size: Small, Color: Beige, Size: Small
I liked this sweater so much, I bought it in other colors. This review is for the brown sweater, which is a warm brown color. I wear colors in the cool color palette, including cool-toned or ashy browns (see photos for comparison), but decided to keep this sweater to wear in the Fall. Color reminds me of milk chocolate. These are my go-to sweaters! Easy to pop on and wear with jeans or slacks for a put-together look. I normally wear a US Medium, but I returned for a Small. You may want to size down. Sweater is soft and comfortable, quality is great, and the weight is light and perfect for Spring or Fall. They have washed well, and I have dried in the drier for about 10 minutes before removing to finish drying on a rack.

Love it so much!
Color: Beige, Size: Small
This is super cute! Beware the ‘beige’ color is very much a white sweater with black stripes so one star gets taken away for that. Go figure. But otherwise super cute. Cropped so beware of that but good quality!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect go-anywhere sweater — stylish, versatile, and easy to layer
Color: Brown, Size: Small, Color: Brown, Size: Small
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect go-anywhere sweater — stylish, versatile, and easy to layer I bought this striped sweater for a fall cruise from Spain to Portugal and then on to France, and it was absolutely perfect for the changing weather. Some days were warm, others were cool, and this sweater handled it all beautifully. It’s lightweight without feeling flimsy, making it ideal for layering without adding bulk. I wore it often throughout the trip and never felt like I was repeating the same outfit—it’s classic, flattering, and effortlessly stylish. The stripes and color palette are incredibly versatile. It paired easily with black, brown, and neutral pieces, dressed up or down, and worked for everything from sightseeing to casual dinners. Comfortable, chic, and practical—this truly is a go-anywhere sweater. If you’re looking for something cute, fashionable, and endlessly wearable, this sweater is a winner. I’d absolutely buy it again.
