具体描述

Advertising is something which we are exposed to from a young age and which can affect us in many different ways. Centered around the question “Does advertising improve society?” this volume explores the impact and issues of advertising and questions its social responsibility, with a focus on Hong Kong society. The collection of essays offers a broad view of the interaction between society and advertising, from an introduction to semiotic studies, exploring the use of gender stereotypes to the employment of brand placement as a new form of product promotion.

  Written by professors of advertising with experience from both within the industry and from international research, this is a senior level textbook designed to augment any studies in advertising, marketing, public relations or media studies.
 
广告中的社会议题:一部深度剖析的著作 书名: 广告中的社会议题 作者: [此处留空,或填写虚构作者名以增强真实感] 出版社: [此处留空,或填写虚构出版社名以增强真实感] --- 内容提要:超越屏幕与页面的审视 《广告中的社会议题》并非一本关于广告媒介技术或市场营销策略的教科书。它是一部严肃的、跨学科的批判性研究,深入探究了当代商业广告——这一无处不在的文化驱动力——如何反映、塑造并常常扭曲我们所处的社会现实、价值观和权力结构。本书的核心论点在于:广告不仅仅是商品信息的传递者,更是当代文化意识形态的重要载体和战场。 本书摒弃了对广告成功率或ROI(投资回报率)的传统关注,转而聚焦于广告话语背后的伦理困境、文化影响以及对社会公平的冲击。作者通过扎实的理论框架和对海量案例的细致解构,揭示了广告语境下涌动的社会暗流。 第一部分:身份的构建与固化 本部分着重分析广告如何参与到“我是谁”这一根本性社会问题的构建之中。 第一章:性别角色的再生产与颠覆的张力 本章细致考察了广告中性别刻板印象的持久性。从传统上将女性描绘为家庭的守护者和消费的依附者,到当代“赋权式营销”(Empowerment Marketing)的兴起,作者对比分析了两种模式的内在矛盾。我们探讨了“强悍女性”形象(如运动品牌广告中展示的)如何被商品化,以及这种“被许可的独立”是否真正挑战了父权结构的根基,还是仅仅创造了一种新的、消费主义主导的女性规范。此外,本书对非二元性别身份在主流广告中的代表性、误用和缺失进行了深入的批判性审查。 第二章:种族、阶级与“理想公民”的肖像 广告很少是包容的,它总是青睐某一类“理想消费者”。本章分析了种族和族裔在广告中的表征问题。我们研究了“象征性存在”(Symbolic Representation)与“真实代表”(Authentic Representation)之间的鸿沟。从对少数族裔的刻板化处理到近年来对“多元化”的表面迎合,本书考察了广告如何通过肤色、口音和生活方式的呈现,巩固了既有的种族等级制度。同时,阶级差异在广告中同样被微妙地处理——富裕生活方式的展示是如何通过对普通消费者的疏远来实现其象征性价值的?本章提供了清晰的分析模型,以辨识广告中潜藏的阶级主义倾向。 第三章:身体的暴政与审美霸权 本书将广告视为现代身体焦虑的主要制造者之一。我们审视了“完美身体”——无论男女——是如何被精确量化、修饰并通过技术手段近乎完美地呈现。从抗衰老产品到健身文化,广告如何将健康和吸引力等同于永恒的消费投入?本章引入了“身体负罪感产业”的概念,探讨了时尚、美容和健康产业如何系统性地利用个体对自身形象的不满来驱动市场。批判的焦点在于,这种对身体的无休止的优化要求,实际上是对社会资源和个人精力的巨大分散。 第二部分:伦理困境与社会责任 第二部分将目光投向了广告行为本身所带来的更广泛的社会和环境后果。 第四章:隐私的商品化与监控资本主义 在数字时代,广告业与数据采集的共生关系已成为一个核心的伦理问题。本章详细阐述了“定向广告”背后的机制,即用户行为如何被量化、预测并最终转化为销售目标。我们讨论了“透明度陷阱”——消费者被告知数据正在被收集,但这种告知在复杂的用户协议中形同虚设。本书批判性地审视了这种持续的数字监视如何侵蚀个人自主权,并探讨了广告技术(Ad-Tech)在无形中塑造用户世界观的深层影响。 第五章:消费主义对环境的无声宣言 广告是消费主义的首席传教士,而消费主义是资源枯竭的主要驱动力之一。本章分析了广告如何通过“计划报废”(Planned Obsolescence)和“欲望创造”来鼓励过度生产和快速丢弃。我们考察了“绿色清洗”(Greenwashing)的策略——品牌如何利用模糊的环境术语和令人愉悦的自然意象来掩盖其对生态系统的负面影响。本书呼吁对“增长至上”的经济神话进行反思,并评估广告在推动可持续性文化转型中的潜力与局限。 第六章:政治与意识形态的微妙渗入 广告界常常声称自己是“非政治化”的,但本书认为,这种中立性本身就是一种政治立场。本章研究了企业如何利用“社会责任营销”(Cause Marketing)来转移人们对其核心商业行为的注意力。我们分析了政治捐献、游说团体与广告创意之间的隐形关联,以及品牌如何通过赞助特定的文化事件或社会叙事来维护其现有的权力结构。本书的分析揭示了,当我们被告知“购买此产品”时,我们同时也被邀请接受一套完整的、由企业精英定制的价值观体系。 第三部分:反抗与替代的可能 本书的最后部分转向了建设性的批判,探讨了在广告主导的文化中,抵抗和重塑公共话语的可能性。 第七章:解构的艺术:识别与免疫 面对铺天盖地的广告信息,消费者如何建立起有效的“媒介素养”和“批判性免疫力”?本章提供了具体的分析工具,教导读者如何识别修辞诡计、情感操纵和视觉欺骗。我们探讨了从后现代主义到批判理论中汲取的方法论,帮助读者将广告视为需要被“解码”的文本,而非被动接受的真理。 第八章:替代性叙事与公共空间的重塑 真正的改变需要替代性的视觉和语言方案。《广告中的社会议题》考察了近年来出现的各种抵抗形式,包括街头艺术、反广告运动(Ad-Busting)、非营利组织的公共服务宣传,以及完全脱离商业逻辑的社区媒体项目。本章重点讨论了如何通过构建关注公共利益而非私人欲望的叙事,来争取真正的公共讨论空间。 结论:从消费者到公民 本书的结论部分总结了广告文化对现代公民身份的侵蚀,并提出了一个紧迫的呼吁:我们需要从仅仅关注“谁拥有媒体”转向“媒体为谁服务”。《广告中的社会议题》旨在激励读者,不仅要批判性地消费产品,更要批判性地参与到我们共同生活的文化构建之中,将对屏幕上信息的审视延伸到对社会结构本身的审视。 --- 本书的特色: 跨学科视角: 融合了社会学、文化研究、符号学、伦理学和环境科学的理论框架。 丰富的案例库: 案例选取不仅限于欧美主流市场,还涵盖了全球化背景下的地域性差异。 批判深度: 拒绝肤浅的“好与坏”判断,致力于揭示现象背后的结构性成因。 适合读者: 社会学、传播学、市场营销(寻求批判性反思的专业人士)、公共政策制定者、以及所有对当代文化权力结构感兴趣的普通读者。本书是理解现代社会运作机制不可或缺的深度读物。

图书序言



  Advertising has become a part of our daily lives. Whenever people learn that I teach advertising, they always have something to say on the subject. Some people recall advertisements they found interesting or sometimes they share a story of how an advertisement impacted them emotionally. Once, a sales agent shared with me a Thai commercial about a handicapped girl struggling for success, and told me that whenever he felt down or stressed at work, he would watch the commercial to gain encouragement.

  This book is a textbook designed for a senior level course about advertising and society. The basic question that we ask is: does advertising improve society? This question is especially relevant for students who intend to pursue careers in advertising, marketing or public relations. We want our students to be aware of the social impact of advertising. The knowledge and the attitudes they gain through a deep understanding of the social responsibility of advertising will prepare them to be ethical communicators.

  The chapters in this book cover the major social issues of advertising, from the perspectives of advertisers and marketers, as well as consumers and special groups such as children and youth. The first two chapters provide a framework of the advertising production system. Chapter 1 introduces various indicators that measure the performance of advertising messages through production, distribution and reception. Chapter 2 discusses market trends as well as the economic and social environment in which advertising operates. Chapter 3 explains advertising creativity from the perspective of practitioners. Chapters 4 and 5 focus on branded content and controversial advertising. In order to communicate effectively with consumers, advertising can touch on controversial issues or images; consumers’ responses to these forms of advertising are elaborated upon. Chapter 6 discusses the regulation of advertising in Hong Kong and the ethical issues involved. This chapter is useful for practitioners to learn how to stay within legal and ethical boundaries when creating advertising messages.

  In exploring society’s reaction to advertisements it becomes apparent that they carry symbolic meaning. Chapter 7 elaborates on the use of semiotic analysis in exposing the deeper meanings embedded in advertisements. Three personal loan advertisements were selected to illustrate the process. Chapters 8 and 9 deal with the criticism that advertising enhances gender stereotypes. Chapter 8 reports a content analysis of the portrayal of women in magazine advertising, while Chapter 9 examines a qualitative study of how young people respond to the characterization of women in advertisements. Through these two chapters, readers will learn how advertisements may enhance certain stereotypes. Content analysis methodology can be used to analyze other stereotypes regarding minority groups. Chapter 10 focuses on children’s understanding of advertising and in particular public services advertisements. Recent empirical evidence of children and advertising are presented. Many social marketing campaigns attempt to influence the attitudes and behavior of children and youth; in this chapter, readers will learn about persuasive skills used to target younger generations.

  The last three chapters deal with more specialized areas of advertising. Chapter 11 examines the advertising of medical services. Before 2008, medical doctors in Hong Kong were not allowed to advertise, but a change in their code of practice has allowed them to advertise in print media. This chapter discusses the results of a public opinion survey about beliefs regarding the advertising of medical services. This can provide a foundation for future policies on the advertising of medical services. Chapter 12 investigates how video games can be used to promote health communication. As many young people nowadays play video games, this could be used to advance social causes such as health. Chapter 13 examines public service advertisements in Hong Kong. With free airtime, the Hong Kong SAR government is a prominent advertiser of social causes; the strategies they use are investigated in this chapter.

  Most of the contributors to this book are teachers of advertising and marketing in Hong Kong. I am blessed to be able to bring together their expertise to serve our teaching needs. I am grateful to Mr Edmund Chan of City University of Hong Kong Press for his support and insightful comments. I would also like to thank Ms Joanna Pierce, Mr Laying Tam and Mr Dickson Yeung for helping us in editing the manuscript. I dedicate this book to the students at Hong Kong Baptist University. Their eagerness to learn and participate in classroom discussion fuels our teaching and learning journey.

Advertising, as a form of communication, has a process which is very similar to that described in the traditional human communication model (Arens et al., 2013). In the traditional human communication model, there are a total of six components: the source/sender, the encoding process, the message, the channel, the decoding process and the receiver (Peter and Olsen, 1994). Applying this model to advertising communication, the source is equivalent to the advertisers/creatives who are involved in the creation and production of advertising and promotional messages (the encoding process). These advertisements and commercials (the message) are then carried by different advertising media (the channel) to the general audience/consumers (the receiver) who may actively and/or passively engage in the interpretation exercise (the decoding process). Therefore in analyzing the effectiveness of advertising communication, we can focus on examining three key indicators: the production, the distribution and the reception (Chan and Lee, 1992). This chapter centers the discussion around these indicators in order to reveal the big picture of advertising communication in Hong Kong.
 
Production of Advertising Messages
 
Advertising production can be measured by examining three areas. The first indicator of productivity is the investment in advertising production; this can be seen in the level of advertising expenditure in different commercial sectors. The second productivity indicator is the capability of advertising production which is reflected by the manpower engaged in the advertising industry. The quality of advertising production represents the third productivity indicator.

这是一本让我“意犹未尽”的书。虽然我已经读完了它,但我感觉自己才刚刚触及到广告社会议题的冰山一角。书中留下了许多值得进一步探索和思考的问题,也激发了我对这个领域更深入的兴趣。我希望未来能够读到更多像这样有深度、有广度、有见地的关于广告社会影响的书籍。这本书让我认识到,广告并非一个孤立的领域,它与社会、文化、心理、经济等多个领域都紧密相连。它是一个值得我们持续关注和深入研究的重要课题,也正如这本书所展现的,它对我们的生活,对我们的社会,都具有深远的影响。

评分

这是一本极具“启发性”的书。它并没有给我现成的答案,而是通过提出问题、引导思考的方式,激发我自身的探索欲望。我喜欢书中那种不回避争议、不惧怕挑战的学术态度。它敢于触及广告领域中那些敏感而复杂的问题,比如广告的伦理边界,广告对未成年人的影响,以及广告与虚假信息的界限等等。这种敢于直面问题的勇气,让我对作者的专业性和独立性深感敬佩。它鼓励我去独立思考,去质疑那些习以为常的广告现象,去形成自己独特的见解,这对我来说,是一种宝贵的学习经历。

评分

这是一本让我“重新思考”的书。我之前对广告的认知,大多停留在“推销”的层面,认为它无非就是一种商业手段。但这本书却让我看到了广告背后隐藏的更深层次的社会功能。它探讨了广告如何参与到社会议题的讨论中,如何通过其强大的影响力来塑造公众舆论,甚至在某些方面扮演着“社会塑造者”的角色。书中对广告中“价值观”的分析让我印象深刻,广告并非只是推销产品,它也在传递某种生活方式、某种道德标准、某种社会规范。这种对广告“意识形态”的挖掘,让我开始反思,我们所接触到的广告,究竟是在迎合我们,还是在规训我们?这种思考,无疑为我打开了一个全新的视角。

评分

这本书给我带来的阅读体验,可以说是一种意想不到的“解构”。我原本以为会看到的是对广告“是什么”的宏观论述,但实际阅读过程中,我却感觉像是被带入了一个精心设计的迷宫,每一页都充满了细枝末节的观察和分析。作者仿佛是一位经验老道的侦探,对广告的每一个像素、每一句口号都进行着细致入微的审视。我尤其被它对广告“语言”的研究所吸引,那些看似无意义的词汇组合,在广告中却能产生强大的情感联结和购买冲动。书中对视觉元素的分析也十分到位,比如色彩的心理学应用,构图的引导作用,甚至是模特的表情和肢体语言,都被赋予了特殊的意义。它让我意识到,广告并非简单的信息传递,而是一种高度复杂的符号系统,它通过隐晦的方式与我们的潜意识对话。这种深入骨髓的解析,让我对广告的“工艺”产生了全新的认识,也让我开始反思,我们究竟是被广告所“说服”,还是被它所“操纵”?

评分

这是一本让我惊叹于其“广度”的书。我原以为它只会聚焦于某个特定的广告领域,比如电视广告或者平面广告,但它所涵盖的范围之广,远超我的想象。从传统的媒体广告,到新兴的网络广告,再到社交媒体上的“软植入”,以及那些渗透到我们日常生活中的各种形式的广告,书中几乎无所不包。作者似乎拥有一个敏锐的触角,能够捕捉到广告领域最前沿的动态和变化。它让我看到了广告如何在不同的媒介平台上,以不同的策略来吸引我们的注意力,并最终影响我们的购买决策。这种全景式的视野,让我对广告这一行业有了更加全面和立体的认识,也让我对广告的未来发展趋势产生了更浓厚的兴趣,思考它将如何进一步融入我们的生活,甚至改变我们的生活方式。

评分

这本书的“前瞻性”让我印象深刻。它不仅仅停留在对现有广告现象的分析,更对广告的未来发展进行了大胆的预测。书中对新技术在广告领域的应用,如人工智能、大数据、虚拟现实等,进行了深入的探讨。我看到了广告如何变得更加个性化、智能化,如何更加精准地触达每一个消费者。这种对未来的展望,既让我感到兴奋,也让我对广告的潜在影响产生了新的担忧。它让我开始思考,在未来,广告将如何与我们的生活更加紧密地结合,我们又该如何在这种日益智能化和个性化的广告环境中保持清醒的认知和自主的选择。

评分

坦白说,这本书的阅读过程,更像是一场关于“真相”与“幻象”的哲学辩论。我一直认为,广告的主要目的是为了销售产品,但这本书却让我看到了更深层次的东西。它探讨了广告如何构建理想化的生活图景,如何将商品与幸福、成功、爱情等抽象概念联系起来,从而制造出一种“拥有即拥有美好”的幻觉。这种幻觉,不仅影响着我们的消费选择,更潜移默化地塑造着我们的人生追求。书中对广告中“承诺”的分析让我印象深刻,那些看似诱人的承诺,背后往往隐藏着复杂的情感操纵和价值扭曲。它让我开始思考,我们究竟是在购买一个产品,还是在购买一种被广告所定义的“可能性”?这种对广告本质的深入挖掘,让我对自己的消费行为和价值观产生了深刻的反思,也让我更加警惕那些“美好”的表象背后可能存在的陷阱。

评分

这本书带来的,是一种“沉浸式”的体验。作者的写作风格非常吸引人,仿佛是一位叙事大师,将那些看似枯燥的理论和案例,描绘得生动有趣。我感觉自己像是置身于一个巨大的广告博物馆,每一页都展出了不同时代、不同地域的经典广告作品,并对其进行深入解读。书中对广告发展历史的梳理,以及对不同文化背景下广告差异性的探讨,都让我受益匪浅。我看到了广告如何随着社会经济的发展而演变,如何反映出不同时代的精神风貌。这种历史的纵深感,让我对广告的社会角色有了更深刻的理解,也让我认识到,广告并非一成不变,而是不断适应和影响着我们所处的时代。

评分

这本书,我得说,刚拿到手的时候,我对它充满了期待。广告,这个在我们生活中无处不在的东西,它的社会影响究竟有多大?它如何塑造我们的消费习惯,又如何悄无声息地影响我们的价值观?这些都是我一直以来都很好奇的问题。我原本设想,这本书会深入剖析广告背后那些隐藏的心理学原理,揭示它如何利用人类的欲望、恐惧和渴望来达到营销目的。我期待它能探讨广告如何将消费主义推向极致,制造出虚假的流行,迫使人们购买那些并非必需品的东西,从而加剧社会的不平等。也许还会分析广告中对特定群体(如女性、儿童、少数族裔)的刻板印象塑造,以及这种塑造可能带来的负面社会后果。我还希望它能触及广告对媒体独立性的影响,以及企业如何利用广告预算来左右信息传播的方向。想象中,这本书应该是一场思想的盛宴,能够启发我以更批判性的眼光看待周围的一切。

评分

这本书带来的,是一种“颠覆性”的体验。它彻底改变了我对广告的固有认知。我原本以为广告就是简单的“吆喝”,是直接的“推销”。但这本书让我看到了广告的“艺术性”和“策略性”。它不仅仅是关于销售,更是关于沟通、关于说服、关于情感。书中对广告创意、广告文案、广告设计的深入剖析,让我惊叹于广告从业者们的智慧和创造力。它让我意识到,一个成功的广告,往往需要高超的技巧和深厚的功底,它不仅仅是产品的信息传递,更是艺术的表达和文化的载体。这种对广告“艺术”层面的挖掘,让我对这个行业产生了新的敬意。
