skønheds videoers effekt på forbruger adfærd blandt seerne Online skønheds videoer på det sociale medie YouTube har oplevet en stigende interesse. De mest populære videoer er lavet af uafhængige skabere som kontinuerligt laver og deler videoer så som instruktions videoer i at lægge makeup og produkt anmeldelser. Den tiltagende interesse for disse videoer både hos skønhedsindustrien og blandt forbrugere frembragte nogle udvalgte spørgsmål om hvorvidt disse videoer har en effekt på forbruger kulturen blandt dem som ser dem. Flere af videoerne er sponsoreret af firmaer og det var derfor ligeledes relevant at undersøge om betalt indhold gør en forskel på seernes syn på disse videoer (Pixability 2015). Spørgsmålet som dette studie har til formål at undersøge blev således: Hvordan påvirker YouTube skønheds videoer seernes forbruger adfærd? Og er det muligt at genkende nogle forbrugsmønstre blandt seerne som en effekt af YouTube skønheds guruer? Den teoriestiske ramme

  • Some Extra Material
    An Online Appendix This appendix to Order in Disorder: Intratextual Symmetry in Montaigne’s “Essais” consists of two parts. Part A is my translation of the 29 sonnets of Étienne de La Boétie that appear in I: 29 of the editions of the Essays published during Montaigne’s lifetime. Part B provides some additional cross-references between chapters III: 5 and III: 9. Part A I Forgive, O Love, forgive! O Lord, I vow to you The remnant of my years, my writing and my voice, My sobbing and my sighs, my tears, my pleading cries; Naught, naught will I ascribe to anyone but you. Alas, my fortune plays its tricks upon myself! It wasn't long ago that, Love, I laughed at you. I've sinned, I know; I yield: I am your prisoner. I kept my heart too long; I disavow it now. If for having kept it I slowed your victory, Don't treat it worse for that; more glorious still you'll be. And if at the first blow you did not strike me down, Bear in mind a good conqueror, born to be great, When his new prisoner at last decides to yield, Esteems and loves him more, for having so well fought. II It is Love, it is Love, him alone, this I feel: But the sharpest kind of Love, the most poisonous That ever a poor heart has allowed in the door. Not just one piercing shaft this cruel one has shot, But bow, shafts and quiver--and himself--in my soul. Not quite a month ago it was my freedom died.
