Book Adjudicating Attacks Targeting Culture

Download or read book Adjudicating Attacks Targeting Culture written by Hirad Abtahi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-01-16 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work proposes a toolkit for international legislators, judges and scholars to consider the adjudication of the causes, means and consequences of attacks targeting culture. Filling international law’s gap regarding culture, this work views the latter as a legacy oriented local-national-international triptych. Therein, culture can be anthropical or natural (fauna and flora), movable or immovable, secular or religious, tangible or intangible. Based on the practice of both modes of responsibility’s jurisdictions, this works proposes a novel typology of the victims of cultural damage. These are natural persons as members of the collective, the collective as the sum of natural persons, and legal persons as a result of damage inflicted on them or their property. Based on the practice of both modes of responsibility’s jurisdictions, this work considers attacks targeting culture as anthropo/heritage-centred and/or tangible-centred.

Book excerpt: Currently, 1 out of 10 US citizens lays claim to being targeted in a certain way. Do these allegations signal the onset of mass psychosis, a social epidemic of unheard of proportions or a ubiquitous lived reality that affects millions, yet without any obvious and self-explanatory reasons why? Targeting Culture: Making the Invisible Visible offers a comprehensive social theoretic framework for making sense of a largely invisible threat or for how the invisible may be made visible. By adopting as interpretive platform a critical discourse analytic approach, it dimensionalizes the culture of targeting on three levels, micro, meso and macro. At the same time, the analytic highlights salient legal facets, while suggesting that this complex, multi-act, multi-perpetrator crime of multiple composite causality involving interdiscursive chains between lay and institutional discourses may be effectively addressed on the grounds of a multi-dimensional legal model, such as that of indirect perpetration in organized power mechanisms. In order to facilitate the reader's understanding of the subtle nuances of this new cultural phenomenon, a lavish array of concepts is offered to the reader, spanning various perspectives from the humanities and the social sciences, such as psychoanalysis, microsociology, religious studies, social cybernetics, systems theory, multimodal rhetorical studies, philosophy, cultural studies, legal studies.

Book The Routledge Companion to Ethnic Marketing

Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Ethnic Marketing written by Ahmad Jamal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The globalization of marketing has brought about an interesting paradox: as the discipline becomes more global, the need to understand cultural differences becomes all the more crucial. This is the challenge in an increasingly international marketplace and a problem that the world's most powerful businesses must solve. From this challenge has grown the exciting discipline of ethnic marketing, which seeks to understand the considerable opportunities and challenges presented by cultural and ethnic diversity in the marketplace. To date, scholarship in the area has been lively but disparate. This volume brings together cutting-edge research on ethnic marketing from thought leaders across the world. Each chapter covers a key theme, reflecting the increasing diversity of the latest research, including models of culture change, parenting and socialization, responses to web and advertising, role of space and social innovation in ethnic marketing, ethnic consumer decision making, religiosity, differing attitudes to materialism, acculturation, targeting and ethical and public policy issues. The result is a solid framework and a comprehensive reference point for consumer researchers, students, and practitioners.

Book Pride Parades

    Book Details:
  • Author : Katherine McFarland Bruce
  • Publisher : NYU Press
  • Release : 2016-10-04
  • ISBN : 1479878715
  • Pages : 309 pages

Download or read book Pride Parades written by Katherine McFarland Bruce and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 28, 1970, two thousand gay and lesbian activists in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago paraded down the streets of their cities in a new kind of social protest, one marked by celebration, fun, and unashamed declaration of a stigmatized identity. Forty-five years later, over six million people annually participate in 115 Pride parades across the United States. They march with church congregations and college gay-straight alliance groups, perform dance routines and marching band numbers, and gather with friends to cheer from the sidelines. With vivid imagery, and showcasing the voices of these participants, Pride Parades tells the story of Pride from its beginning in 1970 to 2010. Though often dismissed as frivolous spectacles, the author builds a convincing case for the importance of Pride parades as cultural protests at the heart of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Weaving together interviews, archival reports, quantitative data, and ethnographic observations at six diverse contemporary parades in New York City, Salt Lake City, San Diego, Burlington, Fargo, and Atlanta, Bruce describes how Pride parades are a venue for participants to challenge the everyday cultural stigma of being queer in America, all with a flair and sense of fun absent from typical protests. Unlike these political protests that aim to change government laws and policies, Pride parades are coordinated, concerted attempts to improve the standing of LGBT people in American culture.

Book Culture Management

Download or read book Culture Management written by Lukasz Wroblewski and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2017-01-30 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dr Lukasz Wroblewski's book Culture Management: Strategy and Marketing Aspects clearly recognises that the pressures on the cultural sector in the 21st Century are greater than ever before. Based on robust academic research within a practical industry context, this book addresses all the key issues related to marketing strategy and planning for the cultural industries. It will be an invaluable tool for managers, policy-makers and all those working in the creative and cultural world, and will help them to develop sound strategies for the future." Dr Kim Lehman Tasmanian School of Business and Economics, University of Tasmania "Dr Wroblewski's book explains clearly what has changed to make the use of business models necessary, even in organizations which might have resisted in the past. Globalization has resulted in a population which understands and appreciates art and culture created in other countries. While it might be agreed that this is beneficial for society, it means that cultural arbitrators within a country no longer have the authority to dictate what is accepted as culture. Managers now understand that to gain the support of the public they must explain the benefits of consuming their cultural product." Dr Bonita M. Kolb Professor Emeritus of Lycoming College in Pennsylvania "A thoughtful and penetrating analysis of culture management addressing marketing strategies and cultural institutions. An important `must read' book for those involved in this exciting sector." Prof Adrian Payne University of UNSW Business School, University of New South Wales

Book Ethnic Marketing

Download or read book Ethnic Marketing written by Guilherme Pires and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A globalization process epitomised by historically large cross-border population movements with rapidly improving networking and communication technologies, has resulted in the growth of ethnic diversity across newly industrialised economies. Instead of adapting to a dominant, host country culture, many ethnic minorities seek to preserve their identities, both as diasporic communities and within their adopted countries. For marketers it has been recognised as crucial to understand the unique needs of these individuals and to develop superior marketing strategies that meet their preferences. Ethnic Marketing shows the rich opportunities that ethnic minority communities have to offer, as well as offering instruction on the design and implementation of effective social and business marketing strategies. The text offers practical guidance on assessing the needs of individual ethnic communities and a guide to marketing to these communities within various countries. Since the publication of Pires' and Stanton's 2005 book there has been continuing changes in the political, social and economic environment in many countries which have growing ethnic minorities. Incorporating new research across disciplines on the marketing relevance of ethnic minorities, this book also integrates contributions and excerpts from in-depth interviews conducted with leading marketing experts, whose views and insights stimulate discussion and result in in an invaluable guide to best practice in ethnic marketing across the world, plus expert insights into the future of this dynamic area. This is an excellent resource for researchers and advanced marketing students taking both postgraduate and undergraduate courses in marketing management or strategy, as well as government, marketing practitioners and businesses seeking ways to reach ethnic communities.

Book Marketing of Tourism Experiences

Download or read book Marketing of Tourism Experiences written by Noel Scott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a review of the current theory and practice of experiential tourism and how it is marketed. Many societies today are characterised by widespread individual wealth of an order previously confined to the elite with the consequence that ownership of ‘ordinary’ physical goods is no longer a distinguishing factor. Instead people are now seeking the ‘extraordinary’ with examples being bodies enhanced through surgery, personal fitness trainers, and, in the case of leisure and tourism, seeking unique and unusual places to visit and activities to undertake. This trend manifests in the increasing consumption of services and the addition of experiential elements to physical goods by businesses aware of societal changes. The trend is enhanced by rapidly changing technology and economic production methods providing new sectors of the world’s population with access to the consumption experiences that are repeatedly featured in the media. This is the experience economy, characterised by a search by consumers for fantasies, feelings, and fun. This book was based on a special issue of Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Mangement.
