A Dialogic Communication Model for Advertising

Abstract

Taking A Cybernetic Model for Advertising proposed by Chris Miles (2007) as its starting point, this paper argues that the principles of dialogic relationships should be applied to the construction of advertising communication models. A dialogic model for advertising looks at self/other relationships within the advertising system through the Bakhtinian perspective of dialogic relationships. Taking into account the time/space factor, a dialogic model provides explanation of how various actors communicate in the advertising system. The paper considers the concept of control and examines how it influences the communication process between different actors. It argues that none of the actors involved in communication can have dominating and permanent control over the message creation process. Furthermore, it shows that in communication, there is no transmission, but only co-creation of the message.

The Politics of Inversion: Carnivalesque Subversion in Nobody Killed Her

“…This paradigm is in harmony with resistance theories, particularly Judith Butler's, and structuralist approaches to comics' meaning-making process. Karimova (2014) employs the literary criticism concepts of Mikhail Bakhtin to propose an alternative methodology for analyzing advertising text. By applying a carnivalesque framework, the study explores the incorporation of carnival culture in advertising, examining examples like an online commercial for JBS Men's underwear and print advertisements for Glassing Sunglasses and Mattel Scrabble.…”

“…The patterns of composition (that correspond to the 'textual' meta-function) indicate the ways in which the patterns of representation and interaction integrate into a meaningful whole (Halliday & Matthiessen, 2014). Karimova (2014) defines advertising as "a paid, mediated form of communication from an identifiable source, designed to persuade the receiver to take some action, now, or in the future" (p.2). Social media advertising is considered an effective form that "creates an interactive environment for consumers and ad agencies" (Alalwan, 2018;Kuo et al, 2021;Tajvidi et al, 2021).…”

Humorous memes for Covid-19 communications and carnivalesque functions

“…For instance, Karimova's (2014) study revealed that advertisements (specifically JBS Men's underwear online commercial and MattelScrabble's 'The Beautiful World' ad campaign) that employed carnivalesque style and rhetoric not only attempted to promote such products and services but also downplayed their value. This seemingly paradoxical effect elicits ambivalent laughter, which is characteristically carnivalesque.…”
