La evolución de la tecnología, y los imaginarios de género
Por otra parte, hasta en los imaginarios humanos, las divinidades más poderosas en toda la historia, son las que son mujeres.

Se espera que el nuevo Honda Insight valga menos de 20 mil dólares, nada mal para un híbrido.

Publicidad asombrosa en la Ciudad de México
Si esto es espectacular hace pocos días ví algo mejor:
Vayan al metro Pino Suarez, tomen la dirección hacia Cuatro Caminos, y cuando arranque el metro fijénse por la ventana del lado derecho.
Aparecerán dos animaciones, una de una marca de crema y otra del Civic de Honda. Son imagenes pegadas a la pared del tunel que toman vida con el movimiento del mismo metro, que a su vez las ilumina. El efecto visual es simplemente asombro! Hace mucho que algo no me sorprendía, y vaya que ver animación en el tunel del metro lo hizo. Tuve que hacer el mismo viaje otra vez otro día para disfrutar el show con más calma, jeje.

NY: si el gobierno no puede mantener el metro, que lo haga la publicidad
Cash-Strapped Metropolitan Transportation Authority Looking For Any Way To Bite Into $900 Million Deficit
Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials say on Thursday they'll present a midtown Manhattan shuttle train ensconced in advertising for The History Channel.
Thousands of tourists, commuters and residents see the shuttle, which runs between Grand Central Terminal and Times Square.
The MTA faces a projected deficit next year of nearly $900 million. In recent years it has raised fares for subways, buses and two regional rail lines and tolls for bridges.
It also has begun exploring the possibility of cutting subway, bus and commuter rail service.
An MTA spokesman won't say how much revenue the new ad will generate.

Música, guerra y propaganda: el caso ruso
Mario de Leo, joven físico de la UNAM, escribe un muy interesante blog de forma bilingue y se muestra molesto por el uso político que el director de orquesta ruso Valery Gergiev hace de la 7a Sinfonía de Shostakovich, ya que la tocará en Osetia del Sur, el disputado territorio entre Rusia y Georgia que produjo la reciente escaramuza bélica en el Caucaso. Leo explica porqué el compositor ruso estaría molesto. Vale recordar que los nazis también usaban a sus directores de orquesta más afamados - como Karajan - como herramientas de propaganda. Quien sabe qué le prometió Putin a Gergiev. Copio del blog de Leo:
I am really mad. How dare you, Valery Gergiev, use Shostakovich's 7th Symphony on South Ossetia? How dare you play it with the support of Russia?
Shostakovich wrote the symphony for the Russian people while Germany was invading St. Petersburg. It was a somber work that represented the march of an oppressing force against a free state, and that is exactly the opposite of what you did. Russia entered Georgia as an oppressing force.
You are disgusting, disfiguring music at your taste. You should be relieved of your posts at the London Symphony Orchestra and New York Metropolitan Opera.

Omnicom y su publicidad homofobica
Parece que esta burla no es casual, por lo que un afamado crítico de la revista Ad Age, Bod Garfield, le escribió una carta pública a John Wren, presidente de Omnicom. Parte de la carta dice:
"Now, from AMV BBDO, London, another Snickers spot, in which a butt-wiggling race walker is just too effeminate for Mr. T's liking. The snarling scourge of all things sissified chases after the guy in a pickup. "You a disgrace to the man race!" he bellows. 'It's time to run like a real man!' -- whereupon the terrorized wimp is mowed down with a candy-spewing Gatling gun and admonished to 'Get some nuts!' The pun behind the campaign is obvious, adolescent and unfunny. The sentiment behind it is simply sick. John: three Omnicom agencies, three outrages. It is time for you to intervene. The Super Bowl ad, at least, was grounded in something real. It wasn't exactly homophobic; it was about homophobia and men's deepest sexual fears about themselves. Why that issue would be the stuff of candy-bar advertising is an open question, and a good one, but there was nothing genuinely malevolent in the televised spot. This new Mr. T commercial -- like the online wrench attack -- is explicitly malevolent and beyond the pale. So unseemly, so perverse, so beneath you."
La carta completa y los tres anuncios que discriminan a hombres que no cumplen con el modelo machista y patriarcal de Omnicom se pueden ver Towleroad.jueves, julio 17, 2008

Porqué la publicidad es buena, y funciona...

Today few critics take issue with advertising as a phenomenon. Instead they focus on individual sectors – alcohol, fattening foods, financial credit or whatever – where the issues are specific, and rather different. Today almost everyone who has examined the issues accepts that advertising does indeed help keep the wheels of industry turning, and hence keeps people in jobs. Today almost everyone accepts that by subsidising the media, advertising helps keep them relatively inexpensive and relatively free from government control. (This, too, is not true in all countries).
The area where contention still rages is how advertising benefits consumers (if at all). But the great French essayist Montaigne hit the spot in his 1595 essay "Of a Defect in our Policies". How, he asked, can sellers and buyers successfully communicate with each other? And like many other early commentators he believed the principle loser from the lack of communication to be the buyer. Unless buyers know about all the goods on offer, they miss out. And nobody since Montaigne (since ancient Athens come to that) has devised a better way than advertising to bridge this knowledge gap. If consumers did not benefit from advertising, it would not work.
