现代传媒与脑白金“奇观”

奇观是法国思想家居伊·德波在其所著的《景观社会》中提出的核心理论。在德波看来,奇观(或译景观)就是指商品已经占领了整个社会生活的全部,它是一种由感性的可观看性建构起来的幻象,它的存在由表象所支撑,以各种不同的影像为其外部显现形式。脑白金在中国市场长盛不衰,畅销多年,实属保健品市场的一大奇观。本文试图运用居伊·德波的奇观理论,对脑白金的广告奇观和消费奇观做出分析。

Hallucination as epistemology: critiquing the visual in Ken Burns’ The West

A quantitative content analysis of 1,055 television ads reveals that male voiceovers outnumber female voiceovers 4:1. As has been the case for decades in television, a man is much more likely to serve as the disembodied and objective voice of authority, expertise, and reason. However, a woman's voice is twice as likely to be heard if her body is also represented on screen. Based on that finding, the authors argue that scopocentric sexism influences when and how gendered voices are presented. A woman's relative agency, her recourse to “voice” in both the literal and metaphoric sense, is conditioned by her visual presence. After completing the quantitative content analysis, a qualitative textual analysis was conducted on a subsample of ads in order to explore relationships between voice and body at a finer-grained level. The study provides an important update for critical ad research concerning voiceovers and is the first that systematically compares voice and body data. The authors conclude by presenting ideas for integrating critical sound research into media literacy curricula.     

Issue Ownership in Congressional Campaign Television Spots

This study investigated issue ownership patterns in 602 U.S. House and Senate Democratic and Republican political campaign television advertisements from 1980–2000. First, the themes in these ads were about equally split between policy and character (unlike presidential TV spots from the same time period, which are roughly two-thirds policy and one-third character). Candidates from each political party addressed their own party's issues more than issues owned by the other party. However, unlike presidential spots, congressional ads discussed Democratic issues more than Republican issues (59% to 41%). Although candidates from both political parties discussed their own issues more, winners tended to discuss issues from the other party more than losers. There was no difference in issue ownership emphasis between the House and Senate ads in this sample.     

Partnering with the Public Library for Health Care Education: An Evaluation of Affordable Care Act Messages

Despite implementation of most of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by 2014, the public still has questions about the health care law. To assess the potential of using the library as a hub for ACA education, we tested existing and new culturally relevant messages about the health care law with twenty-seven community members. Participants discussed the message prototypes, including the visual components and promotional content, and provided advice to modify content and design to best reach target audiences. Future research can follow this example to engage libraries and community members in developing and evaluating culturally relevant health messages.

构图与版式设计是平面类广告、书籍、包装等设计的组成内容,它作为视觉信息要素的编排结构形态设计,不仅对平面类静态视觉信息的传达功能构成直接影响,而且会在动态类视听传媒中以各种形式出现并产生作用。未来,随视觉传达形式而发展的构图与版式设计,将会以更加新异、多样、个性化的信息元素组合构成形式,适应信息时代数字化生存方式中的各类信息在不同媒介的高效传载要求。     

论完善网络广告的法律规制

迅猛发展的网络广告创造了巨大的经济价值,同时也存在着一些问题,如内容违法广告问题、虚假广告问题、广告骚扰问题,这些问题在传统媒体中同样存在,但在网络环境中更易发生。相关的法律规范的不完善是主要原因,如未明确将网络作为广告媒体;未将个人纳入广告发布者范围;未明确网络广告的专门办理;未禁止通过网络发布烟草广告;《广告法》与《广告管理条例施行细则》适用关系不明确。应当修改法律规范,建立广告诚信档案和悬赏举报制度,以此完善网络广告的法律规制。
