Críticas:
Ciarlo has written an extremely smart, provocative book linking the rise of German modern advertising and aesthetics with imperialism and racism at the fin-de-siecle...Throughout a profusely and richly illustrated text, Ciarlo concentrates on one aspect of German advertising, namely, the culture of race, through a discussion of images that were reproduced in a myriad of venues from newspapers, magazines, posters, store windows, matchbooks, and the sides of trams and buses, to tins and boxes. One forgets that the massive duplication of images is only about 100 years old; the Germans excelled at both the industrial and artistic techniques that produced new forms of advertising. -- M. Deshmukh Choice 20111001
Reseña del editor:
At the end of the nineteenth century, Germany turned toward colonialism, establishing protectorates in Africa, and toward a mass consumer society, mapping the meaning of commodities through advertising. These developments, distinct in the world of political economy, were intertwined in the world of visual culture. David Ciarlo offers an innovative visual history of each of these transformations. Tracing commercial imagery across different products and media, Ciarlo shows how and why the "African native" had emerged by 1900 to become a familiar figure in the German landscape, selling everything from soap to shirts to coffee. The racialization of black figures, first associated with the American minstrel shows that toured Germany, found ever greater purchase in German advertising up to and after 1905, when Germany waged war against the Herero in Southwest Africa. The new reach of advertising not only expanded the domestic audience for German colonialism, but transformed colonialism's political and cultural meaning as well, by infusing it with a simplified racial cast. The visual realm shaped the worldview of the colonial rulers, illuminated the importance of commodities, and in the process, drew a path to German modernity. The powerful vision of racial difference at the core of this modernity would have profound consequences for the future.
