Images of Utopia in the Advertising Page - Hardcover

by Luigi Manca (Author), Alessandra Manca (Author)

This book examines the use of utopian imagery in magazine advertisements, positing that these advertisements reflect the public's unbridled desires, rather than reality itself. The authors argue that these reflections can lead the public to be unable or unwilling to recognize real threats to democracy, social justice, and the environment.
