Centrée sur la République Populaire de Chine actuelle, notre recherche vise à mettre en évidence les processus d’hybridation culturelle dans l’expression de la « modernité chinoise » en tant que thème publicitaire. L’hybridation irrigue les conditions de la création publicitaire en prise avec l’histoire, innerve les pratiques des créatifs et des professionnels de la publicité, imprègne les productions et créations réalisées. L’analyse d’un corpus de soixante-quinze publicités diffusées de 1979 à 2008 met en évidence l’apport continu d’influences extérieures sur les arts visuels de masse et le contexte de création, les tensions et négociations suscitées par la constitution d’un imaginaire de la « modernité chinoise ». L’imprégnation de l’hybridation au cœur des indices et des énoncés laisse intacts les cadres englobants du discours. / Focused on the current period of Popular Republic of China, our research aims at highlighting the cultural hybridization process at play in the expression of “Chinese modernity”. Hybridization is part of the advertising creation conditions, the professionals’ practices and the creations themselves. The analysis of seventy-five print advertisements released between 1979 and 2008 shows the continuous impact of foreign influences on the creation context in Chinese contemporary visual arts, the tensions and negotiations generated by the constitution of a “Chinese modernity” imaginary. The hybridization of indexes and utterances leaves global discourse frameworks intact.

The fast fashion companies are growing with their cheap and trendy clothing, promoting people to adapt to new trends and to consume. At the same time, many fast fashion companies have started to advertise sustainable strategies which are communicated though social media. The aim of this research is therefore to investigate social media as a channel for fast fashion companies to communicate sustainable fashion advertisement, by looking at the Swedish market and the generation Y. A qualitative method was used, and the data was collected though semi-structed interviews. The conclusion of this study is that social media as a channel for fast fashion companies to communicate sustainable fashion advertisement, is not that effective, at least not how it is used to today.

The communication from fast fashion companies regarding sustainable advertisements on social media should either be revised in order to meet the consumers demands, or to use another media channel to reach generation Y.

Pharmaceutical product claim and help-seeking advertisements have prompted the types and purposes of medical dermatology service(s) that patients have used in the United States. Indeed, researchers have demonstrated that 94% of working nurse practitioners affirmed receiving from their patients a request for a cancer drug advertised. However, adult dermatology patients members of Saint Nicholas Catholic Church or/and patients at MedStar Clinic in Houston, Texas, have not been of interest for any study so far. The purpose of this quantitative study was to assess the relationship between product claim, help-seeking, types, and purposes of medical dermatology services used amongst males and females aged at least 18 years. Prospect theory (PT) was the theoretical framework used to analyze the purpose of this study. A cross-sectional survey approach permitted to collect primary data from 120 participants who were members of Saint Nicholas Catholic Church or/and patients at MedStar Clinic. The results, based on a forced entry multiple regression analysis at 95% confidence interval, indicated that product claim and help-seeking significantly explained (p -?¤ .05) the variances of certain types and purposes of medical dermatology services used. Thus, product claim and help-seeking predicted the types and purposes of medical services used by the study population. Pharmaceutical announcers may benefit from the results of this study by using the study results to create new direct-to-consumers advertisements for the dermatology health promotion. The study population may benefit healthy skin, hairs, and nails by using medical dermatology services after exposure to the new pharmaceutical direct-to-consumer advertisements.
