"Der Beitrag beabsichtigt einige Aspekte der Postmoderne in Bezug auf das Phänomen des von Werbung durchdrungenen Lebens zu verdeutlichen. Es wird argumentiert, dass Baudrillard's Theorie der politischen Ökonomie des Zeichens verwendet werden kann, um zu verstehen wie Werbung funktioniert. Trotzdem gibt diese Theorie keine Anknüpfungspunkte hinsichtlich der Entwicklung einer kritisch-ethischen Perspektive für die Werbung. Fruchtbarer sind hingegen die postmodernen Philosophien von Derrida und Lyotard, die Ingredienzen liefern für ein 'Gegengift' zu einer Kommerzialisierung der Kultur." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"The aim of this article is to clarify some aspects of the meaning of postmodernism in relation to the phenomenon of the advertised life, in order to develop a critical ethical perspective on advertising. It is argued that Baudrillard's theory of the political economy of the sign can be used to understand the way advertising works, although it leaves us empty-handed with regard to the development of a critical ethical perspective on advertising. More fruitful are the (postmodern) philosophies of Derrida and Lyotard, which offer ingredients for an antidote to the commodification of culture." (author's abstract)... view less
