Commodity Activism: Cultural Resistance in Neoliberal Times

Commodity Activism: Cultural Resistance in Neoliberal Times (Critical Cultural Communication) by Roopali Mukherjee and Sarah Banet-Weiser
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0814764002, 0814764010 | 314 pages | PDF | 3,2 MB

Buying (RED) products—from Gap T-shirts to Apple—to fight AIDS. Drinking a “Caring Cup” of coffee at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf to support fair trade. Driving a Toyota Prius to fight global warming. All these commonplace activities point to a central feature of contemporary culture: the most common way we participate in social activism is by buying something.

Roopali Mukherjee and Sarah Banet-Weiser have gathered an exemplary group of scholars to explore this new landscape through a series of case studies of “commodity activism.” Drawing from television, film, consumer activist campaigns, and cultures of celebrity and corporate patronage, the essays take up examples such as the Dove “Real Beauty” campaign, sex positive retail activism, ABC’s Extreme Home Makeover, and Angelina Jolie as multinational celebrity missionary.

Exploring the complexities embedded in contemporary political activism, Commodity Activism reveals the workings of power and resistance as well as citizenship and subjectivity in the neoliberal era. Refusing to simply position politics in opposition to consumerism, this collection teases out the relationships between material cultures and political subjectivities, arguing that activism may itself be transforming into a branded commodity.

Re-Engage: How America"s Best Places to Work Inspire Extra Effort in Extraordinary Times (Repost)

Leigh Branham, Mark Hirschfeld, “Re-Engage: How America’s Best Places to Work Inspire Extra Effort in Extraordinary Times”
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0071703101 | 368 pages | PDF | 3 MB

WHY SHOULD I WORRY ABOUT KEEPING WORKERS HAPPY IN A TIME OF RISING UNEMPLOYMENT?

Because you can’t afford not to. In an eye-opening survey of 10,000 employers in 43 states, the Best Places to Work are not only the most engaging work environments for employees—they are also the most efficient, productive, and successful. Even in the toughest economic times.

WHAT SEPARATES THE “BEST” FROM THE REST?

These companies understand and utilize the six “universal drivers” of employee engagement:

1.Caring, Competent, and Engaging Senior Leaders

2.Effective Managers Who Keep Employees Aligned and Engaged

3.Effective Teamwork at All Levels

4.Job Enrichment and Professional Growth

5.Valuing Employee Contributions

6.Concern for Employee Well-Being

HOW CAN I GET THE “BEST” FROM MY EMPLOYEES, MY COMPANY, AND MYSELF?

Simple. Re-engage them.

Praise for Re-Engage

“Authors Leigh Branham, SPHR, and Mark Hirschfeld delve into how the best places to work keep employees at all levels engaged and productive, and offer lessons on how to revitalize your own employees’ engagement.”

Aleksandr Orlov - A Simples Life: The Life and Times of Aleksandr Orlov

Aleksandr Orlov has become one of the most loved figures in British culture and his catchphrase – Simples! – can be heard from the playground to the office. Written in his inimitable voice (as dictated to his sidekick Sergei), his autobiography will offer the same humour as his TV ads, giving us the full story of his ancestor’s Journey of Courageousness from the Kalahari to Russia, the low-down on his life as entrepreneur and founder of comparethemeerkat.com and his love of grubs and cravats.
