Conferència “The tricks in Advertising”. Dr. Jitka Vlckova (Dept. of English and American Studies, Masaryk University, Czech Republic).

 Divendres 20 d'abril de les 11h a les 13h.

 Aula 4 del Ramon Llull, UIB.

 
The talk will show the methods of persuasion in advertising which lead both to reinforcement of existing, and also to introduction and even imposition of new societal values (in soft and hard sell). The images illustrate advertising from the early stages, i.e. the times when lots of people were illiterate (Roman times), then the Middle Ages until the present with its multi-faceted forms. The theoretical part will be complemented by a short seminar where the students will be presented with ads from magazines and will have to analyze them and identify the applied techniques (layout, fonts, lexis/phrases, picture) which lead to persuasion.
