Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book offers a theory of ekphrasis-the literary description of an artwork-from the perspective ofVisual Culturestudies. A theory of ekphrasis must take into account not only the rhetorical strategies articulated in the description of artworks, but also the complex interplay that holds together thepicturesthat are described, thegazesthat rest on them, and thedispositivesthat mediate them. It is therefore a matter of linking the study of the verbal rhetoric with the dynamics that are established between the author, the reader, and the visual artworks, real or fictive, as well as the performative aspects of description and the mediascapes that, from time to time, condition the gaze and the visual experience of the authors and the readers. This book proposes thus to consider both the intradiegetic aspects of description and the extradiegetic ones that condition its verbal texture. Following the rhetorics of ekphrasis throughout the Western tradition, from its origins in Philostratus, its reappraisal by Johann Joachim Winckelmann, to the twentieth-century avant-garde, this book shows how ekphrastic techniques are historically determined by the relationship between pictures, gazes, and dispositives. 144 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book delves into the intricate aspects of consumer behavior, exploring constructs such as attitudes, values, and identity through comprehensive literature reviews. It extends this exploration to encompass cross-cultural consumer behavior constructs, including ethnocentrism, cosmopolitanism, affinity, and animosity. The authors argue that consumer behavior often attempts to derive and apply basic knowledge that applies in various senses to all or nearly all cultures, but at the same time must be qualified by introducing specific aspects of cultures to improve the fit and predictions of general theory. This means introducing in existing theories moderating variables and processes that condition the explanations and forecasts that theory makes with cultural knowledge as needed, as well as at times attempting to derive theories that infuse cultural within the basic psychological and social processes that constitute consumer behavior.Moreover, the text investigates howconsumers learn about and adopt new technologies as well as the role of social media and AI in consumer behavior. Bridging consumer behavior and management topics with strategic insights, this work will be of great interest to students and scholars alike who are interested in the role of culture in consumer behavior. 234 pp. Englisch.…
