  • Purposeful Polysemy in Marketing Communication: Ethical Implications and Policy Challenges
    Purposeful Polysemy in Marketing Communication: Ethical Implications and Policy Challenges by Rumaila Abbas A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management Guelph, Ontario, Canada ©Rumaila Abbas, December, 2018 ABSTRACT PURPOSEFUL POLYSEMY IN MARKETING COMMUNICATION: ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS AND POLICY CHALLENGES Rumaila Abbas Advisor(s): University of Guelph, 2018 Dr. Timothy Dewhirst Past research has identified purposeful polysemy (i.e., multiple meanings in interpretation) as a strategy that enables various marketing goals to be achieved. However, an area that extant literature has largely been silent about is when polysemy can be strategically used to overcome legal boundaries. This research examines purposeful polysemy, as a practice used in varying product sectors (i.e., food, beverage, and tobacco), and explores the consumer, ethical, and policy implications that emerge from its use. This research explores whether marketers, through using verbal and visual devices, can imply multiple meanings, where one meaning pertains to a brand message (e.g., inferring a health-oriented attribute) that is navigating within a stringent regulatory environment, while additional meanings can be used as a legal and ethical defense if undergoing scrutiny for the claim being made. This thesis is organized into three separate manuscripts that have the overarching goal of examining purposeful polysemy and its potential to circumvent the spirit of policy. The first manuscript sets up a conceptual framework and uses a well established image (i.e., a heart symbol) as a demonstration of polysemy. Using a semiological and rhetorical approach, this manuscript further delves into the ethics of using such a marketing tool.

As they spread, Spain’s first modern department stores, supermarkets, consumer magazines, and advertising helped create a public sphere when the Franco regime had curtailed opportunities for public life. In these stores, Spanish consumers encountered foreign products and lifestyles that signaled cosmopolitanism and internationalism, undermining the dictatorship’s foundational discourse of Spanish exceptionalism. With these products came subversive ideas on issues like gender equality,

Why does alcohol cause people to act and feel differently? How much is too much? Why do some people become addicted while others do not? The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism is researching the answers to these and many other questions about alcohol.

  • Tobacco Reborn: the Rise of E-Cigarettes and Regulatory Approaches
    LCB_25_3_Article_3_Aaron (Do Not Delete) 8/6/2021 9:26 AM TOBACCO REBORN: THE RISE OF E-CIGARETTES AND REGULATORY APPROACHES by Dr. Daniel G. Aaron* This Article examines e-cigarettes, FDA-regulated products which heat nico- tine-containing fluid into an aerosol to be breathed into the lungs. Recent data show that e-cigarettes are used by about one-fifth of U.S. high school students. Given that we have, in the Surgeon General’s words, reached an epidemic of youth e-cigarette use, it is worth asking how a product within FDA jurisdic- tion became a serious threat to 3.6 million youth. This Article reviews the law surrounding e-cigarettes and the history of FDA’s attempts to regulate them. Administrative law doctrines instruct us that in- creased presidential control will rein in misbehaving agencies by allowing the people to vote out a president who improperly directs the administrative state. However, e-cigarettes present a potent counterexample. On multiple occasions, presidential control over FDA stymied essential tobacco regulations by increas- ing the influence of the tobacco industry over expert agency policymaking. Yet children harmed by these tobacco policies have no right to vote and little po- litical clout with which to advocate for their interests. Ultimately, the emerg- ing approach to regulating e-cigarettes stands in opposition to a looming his- torical context and a boiling epidemic of nicotine addiction. By painting the context of e-cigarettes in lush detail, drawing from history, law, medicine, and public health, this Article charts a path forward for e-cigarettes and other ad- dicting products.
