Publisher Synopsis
With an unprecedented depth of ethnography, Malefyt and Morais' primer makes huge strides in expanding the dialogue between applied and academic anthropology. George Marcus, Director, Center for Ethnography, University of California, Irvine This volume presents an insider's perspective of complementary professions that is sure to provoke a swift reaction from agencies and the academy. Advertising is a way of construing the world, and anthropology can inform and unpack that construal. Apprentices, read this book as you plan a career. Journeymen, study this book as you rethink your career. Mentors, teach this book as you guide the careers of others. John F. Sherry, Herrick Professor & Department Chair of Marketing, University of Notre Dame A candid portrayal of life in the advertising world... this is a unique and courageous contribution to business anthropology by two of its most experienced practitioners. Marietta Baba, Dean and Professor at the College of Social Science, Michigan State University Ethnography is Anthropology's biggest export. Malefyt and Morais take the practice of ethnography to the world of advertising, and do an ethnography of that world. The results are profoundly illuminating, and make this book essential reading for advertisers and anthropologists alike. David Howes, Professor of Anthropology, Concordia University, Montreal Malefyt and Morais' book, Advertising and Anthropology, is an excellent behind-the-scenes manual for students and young professionals looking to break into the advertising business... those who aspire to break into the business would be wise to learn something about anthropology.
