Lenguaje publicitario y discursos solidarios


Book Description

Este libro estudia las capacidades expresivas de la comunicación publicitaria y, particularmente, una de sus utilizaciones más complejas y menos estudiadas, la sensibilización. Explora el cruce de caminos entre la comunicación publicitaria comercial y la social, y profundiza en las particularidades del Tercer Sector como contexto de especialización del lenguaje de la publicidad. La autora propone una eficacia publicitaria adecuada a las responsabilidades de transformación social y de educación cívica de los agentes del Tercer Sector. Todas sus acciones de comunicación, incluidas las publicitarias, necesitan contribuir de forma transversal a sus objetivos socioculturales, por lo que este trabajo propone una necesaria eficiencia cultural que se vincule a sus necesidades de gestión, y una eficacia cultural que ayude a establecer nuevas metodologías de elaboración y de evaluación de los discursos publicitarios adecuadas para las campañas educativas.

Fragments for a History of the Human Body


Book Description

"The first approach can be called vertical since what is explored here is the human body's relationship to the divine, to the bestial and to the machines that imitate or simulate it. The second approach covers the various junctures between the body's "outside" and "inside": it can therefore be called a "psychosomatic" approach, studying the manifestation - or production - of soul and the expression of emotions through the body's attitudes, and, on another level, the speculations inspired by cenesthesia, pain and death. Finally, the third approach ... brings into play the classical opposition between organ and function by showing how a certain organ or bodily substance can be used to justify or challenge the way human society functions ..." - foreword Part 3.
