Adcult USA: The Triumph of Advertising in American Culture James B. Twitchell
-- Philadelphia Inquirer
Adcult USA Bewertungen
Twitchell is the beaming Koresh of Adcult... Often amusing and illuminating, but always extreme-just like advertising. Time Out, New York What are we to make of this mixture of high and not-so-high culture? 'If we find the process invigorating, you call it bricolage,'writes Twitchell. 'If not, you call it tasteless.' Adweek Twitchell eloquently excoriates the standard dull rants about the evils of commercialism. In true postmodern fashion, he argues that there can be no meaningful division between high art and advertising... Not a single page is without a cleverly turned sentence, thought-provoking remark, or outrageous conclusion. Wired
