  • Kitsch, Irony, and Consumerism: a Semiotic Analysis of Diesel Advertising 2000–2008
    AUTHOR’S COPY | AUTORENEXEMPLAR Kitsch, irony, and consumerism: A semiotic analysis of Diesel advertising 2000–2008 CHRIS ARNING Abstract Diesel advertising poses a conundrum for semiotics practitioners. Diesel ads are thought-provoking and seem to interrogate prevailing social mores as well as impugning fashion and consumerism. Each season’s Successful Living campaign is semiotically rich with a high connotative index. Teasing out these polysemic meanings is not a straightforward task, however. This article examines in detail six Diesel campaigns from 2000 to 2008. The ar- ticle focuses on the rhetorical devices and representational tropes that form the grounds for a Diesel approach to advertising. These include both a kitsch aesthetic and a camp sensibility. The author argues that the same brand constructs twin codes — one that positions Diesel as a scurrilous and insightful countercultural observer with key objections to our consumer- ist culture, and the other a nihilistic and ludic mischief maker that invites smart decoders into a realm of irony and textual bliss. The analysis applies a toolkit approach to semiotics that amalgamates theoretical grounding with pragmatism. Keywords: advertising; double-coding; irony; kitsch; consumerism. Advertisements are one of the most important cultural factors molding and reflecting our lives today . Advertisements are selling us something else besides consumer goods: in providing us with a structure in which we, and those goods are interchangeable, they are selling us ourselves. —Judith Williamson (1978: 11, 13) Text of pleasure: the text that contents, fills, grants euphoria; the text that comes from cul- ture and does not break with it. Text of bliss: Semiotica 174–1/4 (2009), 21–48 0037–1998/09/0174–0021 DOI 10.1515/semi.2009.027 6 Walter de Gruyter AUTHOR’S COPY | AUTORENEXEMPLAR AUTHOR’S COPY | AUTORENEXEMPLAR 22 C.

  • Cupit Family
    A HISTORY OF THE CUPIT FAMILY By JOHN THOMAS CUPIT ROSEPINE, LOUISIANA 1954 THE RELIANCE PRESS DE RIDDER, LOUISIANA INTRODUCTION In this story of the Cupit Family I am giving here an ex­ planaition of how you may use it with more ease as to records you may want to check. I have arranged the genealogy by chapters, using a chap­ ter for each child of the original immigrant to America. The letters and numbers herein used are for the following purpose: The letters are for the generations, namely; A-1, first gen­ eration and first person in the generation. A-2, is second person discussed in first generation. B-1 would be the first person in the second generation, and so on. The descendants are not in chronolgical order in every case. Chapter I.

  • Blind Lemon Jefferson from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Blind Lemon Jefferson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Lemon Henry Jefferson Also known as Deacon L. J. Bates Born September 24, 1893[1] Coutchman, Texas, U.S. Origin Texas Died December 19, 1929 (aged 36) Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Genres Blues, gospel blues Occupation(s) Singer-songwriter, musician Instruments Guitar Years active 1900s–1929 Labels Paramount Records, Okeh Records Notable instruments Acoustic Guitar "Blind" Lemon Jefferson (born Lemon Henry Jefferson; September 24, 1893 – December 19, 1929) was an American blues and gospel blues singer and guitarist from Texas. He was one of the most popular blues singers of the 1920s, and has been called "Father of the Texas Blues". Jefferson's performances were distinctive as a result of his high-pitched voice and the originality on his guitar playing. Although his recordings sold well, he was not so influential on some younger blues singers of his generation, who could not imitate him as easily as they could other commercially successful artists. Later blues and rock and roll musicians, however, did attempt to imitate both his songs and his musical style. Biography Early life Jefferson was born blind, near Coutchman in Freestone County, near present-day Wortham, Texas. He was one of eight children born to sharecroppers Alex and Clarissa Jefferson. Disputes regarding his exact birth date derive from contradictory census records and draft registration records. By 1900, the family was farming southeast of Streetman, Texas, and Lemon Jefferson's birth date is indicated as September 1893 in the 1900 census. The 1910 census, taken in May before his birthday, further confirms his year of birth as 1893, and indicated the family was farming northwest of Wortham, near Lemon Jefferson's birthplace.

  • Archaeological Geophysical Prospection in Peatland Environments
    Archaeological geophysical prospection in peatland environments Kayt Armstrong Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree ‘Doctor of Philosophy’, awarded by Bournemouth University 2010 Volume 1 of 2 This copy of this thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. Abstract Waterlogged sites in peat often preserve organic material, both in the form of artefacts and palaeoenvironmental evidence as a result of the prevailing anaerobic environment. After three decades of excavation and large scale study projects in the UK, the sub- discipline of wetland archaeology is rethinking theoretical approaches to these environments. Wetland sites are generally discovered while they are being damaged or destroyed by human activity. The survival in situ of these important sites is also threatened by drainage, agriculture, erosion and climate change as the deposits cease to be anaerobic. Sites are lost without ever being discovered as the nature of the substrate changes. A prospection tool is badly needed to address these wetland areas as conventional prospection methods such as aerial photography, field walking and remote sensing are not able to detect sites under the protective over burden. This thesis presents research undertaken between 2007 and 2010 at Bournemouth University. It aimed to examine the potential for conventional geophysical survey methods (resistivity, gradiometry, ground penetrating radar and frequency domain electromagnetic) as site prospection and landscape investigation tools in peatland environments.
