Cultural Metaphors: Readings, Research Translations, and Commentary

2001 y.
Publisher: Sage Publications
Description: This outstanding volume examines the importance and usefulness of metaphors as a way of understanding national cultures. The research translations include not only limited empirical studies in which specific hypothesis are tested, but also larger, more expansive works published as books and groundbreaking articles. The often-overlooked views of political scientists and journalists who conceive of the world in terms of zero-sum game theory are explored, as are the issues of the symbolism associated with cultural metaphors. The book concludes with a description of specific uses of cultural metaphors or metaphorical applications. Формат: 15 см x 22,5 см. [detailed...]

Leora Auslander
Cultural Revolutions: Everyday Life and Politics in Britain, North America, and France

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Cultural Revolutions, Leora Auslander takes a highly original approach to the significance of the political changes wrought by the English Civil War (1642-1651), the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), and the French Revolution (1789-1799). This broadly conceived yet succinct essay advances a new argument: that these three revolutions were not bourgeois in character but were revolutions of culture that led to a transformation of the ways societies could be politicized. Auslander argues that these revolutions conferred new importance upon the symbols of state and upon the cultural components of our everyday lives--the clothes that cover our bodies, the food we eat, and the songs and plays to which we turn for distraction and insight.

David Fisher
Cultural Theory and Psychoanalytic Tradition

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The culture of psychoanalysis has many traditions and multiple schools of theory and thought. This work presents informative and original investigations into three overlapping areas of psychoanalytic tradition: the history of psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic culture criticism, and the application of psychoanalytic methods to the study of history. In this carefully crafted evaluation of various authors and subjects, Fisher`s perceptions are informed by a deep and comprehensive knowledge of the psychoanalytic movement, its interaction with the wider context of European cultural and political history, and its philosophical and clinical origins.In examining the history of the movement, Fisher attempts to discover the fundamental inspiration of psychoanalysis by returning to the origins of the discipline. Freud is the central figure here, but Fisher also looks to the second generation of European analysts, including such maverick figures as Lacan and Spielrein, and mainstream figures as… [detailed...]

Cultural Values in Chinese Advertising: Implications for Intercultural Marketing

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.` These words from the Chinese philosopher Confucius should be taken to heart by every company planning operations in China. The role of advertising is crucial as it is the first point of contact between consumer and product/brand. Cultural misunderstandings can happen easily and determine success or downfall. This research paper gives an insight into Chinese cultural values and what role they play in advertising. Cultural theories and models are applied to China and the development of advertising in the country is reviewed. As language is a fundamental part of culture, a closer look at brand naming decision factors is taken. Examples of Chinese and international advertisements published in China are analysed and findings show that culture does play an important role but the necessity of intercultural marketing in today`s business world is still undervalued. For only with a solid… [detailed...]

Culture + Technology: A Primer

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFrom genetically modified food to weapons of mass destruction, we live in an age of intense debate about technology`s place in our culture. While the technologies have changed, these debates go back hundreds of years, and their assumptions have become deeply entrenched in our culture. Culture + Technology is an essential guide to the fascinating history of these debates, and offers new perspectives that give readers the tools they need to make informed decisions about the role oftechnology in our lives. In clear and compelling language, Slack and Wise untangle and expose the cultural assumptions that underlie our thinking about technology, stories so deeply held we often don`t recognize their influence. The book considers the perceived inevitability of technological advance and our myths about progress. It also looks at sources of resistance to these stories from the Luddites of the 19th century to the Unabomber in our own time. Slack and Wise help readers… [detailed...]

Culture And Consumption II: Markets, Meaning, And Brand Management

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A follow-up to Grant McCracken`s groundbreaking Culture and Consumption, this new book trades the usual platitudes about the consumer society for a more detailed, exacting anthropological treatment. Each section of the book pairs a brief essay with an academic article. The essay is designed for a quick, provocative glimpse of the topic, the article provides a deeper anthropological treatment. The book opens with a broadside against the now thoroughly conventionalized attack on the consumer culture. Essays follow on homes, cars, people, and social mobility, celebrities, consumerism, and self-invention, museums and the power of objects, the anthropology of advertising, and marketing, meaning management, and value. Like McCracken`s previous volume, this new book is an engaging, informative, and eye-opening foray into modern consumer culture. [detailed...]

Culture Bound: Bridging the Cultural Gap in Language Teaching

1986 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: `Culture Bound: Bridging the Cultural Gap in Language Teaching` is designed to give language teachers a basis for introducing a cultural component into their teaching. The articles give a perspective on how language and culture interact and explore in particular the difference between interacting with another culture and entering it: language students are encouraged to understand the new culture without necessarily embracing it. This selection brings together representative practical and theoretical material written by a variety of scholars and teachers in the field. The essays are organized under three headings: language, thought, and culture, cultural differences and similarities, and classroom applications. The collection as a whole brings both breadth and depth to a topic that has been strangely neglected despite its recognized importance. [detailed...]
