Reviews

“This book does important work by advancing a theory of how society may be organized around terms, values, images, and ways of thinking promulgated by corporations. It makes a valuable contribution to communication and rhetorical theory, to film studies, and even to economics.”—Barry Brummett, author of Rhetoric of Machine Aesthetics

“This book brings together a set of literatures that, taken together in service of the case study at hand, offer a fascinating perspective on the relationship between rhetoric, film, corporatization, and hegemony. The central concept—incorporational rhetoric—will undoubtedly be useful to a wide range of scholars studying consumerism and commercial discourse, and rhetoric writ large.”—Christine Harold, author of OurSpace: Resisting the Corporate Control of Culture
