Reflections on Healthism and Medicalization 45 Years Later
This reflective essay revisits the key interpretive concepts of ‘medicalization’ and ‘healthism’ that I employed in ‘Healthism and the Medicalization of Everyday Life’, published in 1980. The original article addressed the emergence in the United States of ‘a new health consciousness’ and related holistic health and self‐help movements in the late 1970s. I clarify and extend my use of the concept of medicalization, supplementing my original discu…
Advertising and marketing
Advertising plays a key role in supporting media and providing revenue and content in return for access to specific audiences. This chapter examines the structure, organisation and operations of Australia’s advertising industry, along with its changes and developments over time. It begins with an examination of the ways that advertising is defined and understood today before moving on to examine the industry’s constituent parts: the commercial me…
Establishing an Academic–Community Partnership to Explore the Potential of Barbers and Barbershops in the Southern United States to Address Racial Disparities in HIV Care Outcomes for Black Men Living…
Black men comprise most new HIV infections in the Southern United States and have worse HIV outcomes than their non-Black counterparts. We developed an academic–community partnership in Nashville, Tennessee, to explore opportunities to improve HIV outcomes for Black men. We recruited barbers to an HIV training and focus group discussion about prevention and potential barber/barbershop-based strategies to address HIV-related needs for Black men. W…
Liz Lochhead's Voices
A study of the Scottish female writer and dramatist Liz Lochhead. It examines the full range of her work and supplies a variety of contexts in which her work can be read, including feminist ideology and theatre history. It also contains a full bibliography of her work and new material.
Salutarismo e medicalização da vida cotidiana
Este artigo trata de algumas implicações da nova consciência de saúde e seus movimentos – de saúde holística e autocuidado – para a definição e solução de problemas relacionados à ‘saúde’. O salutarismo representa um modo particular de considerar o problema da saúde e é característico desse novo tipo de consciência e de seus movimentos. Ele pode ser melhor entendido como uma forma de medicalização, no sentido de que ainda retém noções-chave da me…
Devolving English Literature
GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup('ISBN:9780748614295); This widely-praised book looks at the rise and fall of 'Britishness' in literature over the last three centuries. Arguing that for much of its history the subject of 'English Literature' has been bound up with an assumed English cultural centre, Devolving English Literature examines the literary construction and questioning of a British (rather than simply English) literary identity. Surveying ei…
Global Advertising Practice in a Borderless World
Creating a creative industry
In the post-industrial age, the creative industries and their economic contribution have attracted growing attention from scholars and policy-makers alike. Although there has been significant discussion about what industries constitute the creative industries, it has been widely and uncritically accepted that the advertising industry is one of them. However, discussions of the creative industries and their formation have been largely ahistorical.…
Relocating Centers and Peripheries
The history of advertising's global expansion has generally focused on the activities and experiences of American-based agencies. Within these conventional narratives, the "center" of advertising lies in New York. Deemed "peripheral," markets such as Singapore scarcely feature. However, the transnational agencies operating in Singapore in the 1950s and 1960s challenge this narrative. By examining these agencies' activities during this period, thi…
Behaviour change for better health
As the global population grows there is a clear challenge to address the needs of consumers, without depleting natural resources and whilst helping to improve nutrition and hygiene to reduce the growth of noncommunicable diseases. For fast-moving consumer goods companies, like Unilever, this challenge provides a clear opportunity to reshape its business to a model that decouples growth from a negative impact on natural resources and health. Howev…
Massaging the Media
The status of Australia Day has long generated mixed responses - from patriotic flag-waving, to apathy, to outright hostility. Proponents of 26 January consequently have engaged in various public relations activities in order to promote Australia Day and to establish its credentials as the national day. From the early nineteenth century through to the present, local media outlets have had a dynamic relationship with Australia Day. Yet while they …

‘Differences … in Dealing with The Australian Public’
Learning to say g'day to the world
Twenty years after they were first broadcast, Australia’s tourism advertisements of the 1980s featuring Paul Hogan remain the measuring stick to which subsequent Australian tourism campaigns have been compared. This article contends that such comparisons are flawed, as they fail to pay adequate attention to the context surrounding this campaign. In order to understand the reasons for Hogan’s success, it is necessary to explore the ways in which c…
Old debts
This study surveys the relationship that has developed between Australia's advertising and film industries from the early twentieth century to the present. Throughout this period there has been a continuous exchange of skills, talent and ideas between the two industries. While the flow has been two ways, it will be argued that the advertising industry's contribution to the film industry has been greater. Australia's advertising industry functione…
Drink Beer Regularly–It’s Good For You [And Us]”
This study examines the unique publicity activities devised by the Tooth's brewery in Sydney during the Great Depression and the 1930s. Unlike many advertisers, the brewery did not turn its back on advertising or marketing. Recognising the importance of publicity, the brewery developed innovative advertising and marketing initiatives in an attempt to arrest its declining sales. Such strategies included the development of co-operative advertising …
Changing the Face of Advertising
Long before Australia's first commercial television broadcasts in 1956, advertising agencies and advertisers had been preparing themselves for what they believed would be the greatest ever selling medium. The creation of a new outlet for advertisements was not the industry's sole cause of excitement. Having dominated commercial radio, the advertising industry looked forward to extending its influence. These dreams, however, were only partially fu…
Truth in Advertising
For an industry that deals with the public perception of images, it perhaps ironic that advertising itself has long suffered from a severe image problem. The industry has long been equated with exaggerations, distortions and falsities. Critics and the industry alike have looked to the possibility of truth in advertising to redeem its reputation. The discourse of truth in advertising that occurred in the advertising industry ranks during the early…
Health as a meaningful social practice
The pursuit of health has become a highly valued activity in modern and contemporary life, commanding enormous resources and generating an expansive professionalization and commercialization along with attendant goods, services and knowledge. Health has also become a focal, signifying practice. As a 'key word', health is constructed in relation to social structures and experience and systematically articulated with other meanings and practices. A…
Selling or buying American dreams
During the interwar period, the US industrial and financial sectors expanded at a phenomenal rate. Despite the Depression, America had become an economic, industrial, and cultural powerhouse by the beginning of the Second World War. The advertising industry had been both a beneficiary of this growth and, indeed, a key contributor – spreading the American Dream to national and international audiences, including Australia. An important member of th…
Risk Ritual and the Management of Control and Anxiety in Medical Culture
Medical culture in advanced technological societies is characterized by an abundance of warnings about health hazards, along with an equally abundant flow of prescriptive advice for protecting individuals against them. Knowledge of health hazards also defines living and working environments and has spawned a politics of regulatory control. These features of contemporary health consciousness and action, along with deepening insecurities in the lar…
What is Religion?
We all know what religion is - or do we? Confronted with religious pluralism and cultural diversity, it manifests itself in many forms. What is Religion? serves not only as an introduction to the different belief systems flourishing throughout the modern world, but asks us to consider how the very boundaries of faith might be drawn now and in the future. How might religion interact with political ends, or permeate culture, society and everyday li…

This article considers some implications of the new health consciousness and movements-holistic health and self-care-for the definition of and solution to problems related to "health." Healthism represents a particular way of viewing the health problem, and is characteristic of the new health consciousness and movements. It can best be understood as a form of medicalization, meaning that it still retains key medical notions. Like medicine, health…

Glasgow's Experience With Municipal Ownership and Operation
The corporation of Glasgow is the representative body to which the citizens entrust its municipal government. Two separate elective bodies are appointed having charge respectively of education and poor law administration, but the Town Council (which is the corporation) has the responsibility of practically all other departments of the city government. Glasgow has for many years taken a wide and comprehensive view of the work which its governing b…
Cultural Change and Communications in Morocco
One of the significant, but difficult to measure, factors effecting cultural change is communication. Communication is achieved consciously and unconsciously, passively and deliberately, in many ways. It utilizes, and stimulates, all of man's traditionally defined senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. And these senses utilize and stimulate communication. In this article we shall consider only the deliberate and conscious manipulation o…
You are Dangerous to Your Health
This article describes the emergence of an ideology which blames the individual for her or his illness and proposes that, instead of relying on costly and inefficient medical services, the individual should take more responsibility for her or his health. At-risk behavior is seen as the problem and changing life-style, through education and/or economic sanctions, as the solution. The emergence of the ideology is explained by the contradictions ari…

Pater's Renaissance, Andrew Lang, and Anthropological Romanticism
Walter Pater's Notes on Leonardo da Vinci first appeared in Fortnightly Review for November 1, 1869. Next to it was a poem by Swinburne (Intercession). same issue also contained the second part of The Worship of Animals and Plants by the pioneer anthropologist, J. F. McLennan, a piece dealing with primitive totemism. This collocation is an emblematic one. It is important to remember that the period was not only one in which Renan was first being …
