It has become clear that nations in the developed world over-consume, while the poor in the developing world pay the price of our increased consumption with their lowered standards of living and increasing environmental damage . When did obsolescence emerge, in how far is it planned, and which consequences does it have for consumer culture and the promotional self on a broader scale? By drawing on numerous examples, this essay explains how advertisements are constructed semiotically and the ideologies they derive from.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grin Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45562851229847,"sku":"9783638904674","price":2137.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783638904674.webp?v=1767465157","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/consequences-of-planned-obsolescence-for-consumer-culture-and-the-promotional-self-analyzing-ads-9783638904674","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
