| wowzers Written by Brian Wilkens, on Friday.05.01.09 well, stephan certainly proved to be a provocateur. congrats my chi town brethren. matt, i'm a little confused by your polemic. did you think stephan was talking about morality in advertising? i found his talk and perspective quite interesting. it was like this quasi-structuralist interpretation of powerful advertising. and to be honest, i've never heard or read about anybody putting propaganda, advertising or any other communication in that light before. and the religious analogies... i could be wrong, but i think that was just a provocative way to prove his points. so i guess what i'm trying to say is that i'm not sure why ur judging and ranting about his talk from a moralistic perspective. i found him to be a moral relativist. as the creators of communications, we have the ability to tap into this primordial power of persuasion. how we use it is up to us. |
