The Faces and Stakes of Brand Insertion

Edited by Sébastien Lefait, Sandrine Villers – 2022

Sébastien Lefait, Sandrine Villers (Eds.)

This volume seeks to complement extant studies of product placement strategies by introducing a methodology more systematically related to the field of cultural studies, especially where the reception and impact of product placement are concerned. It explores the many iterations of brand placement in popular culture, with a consideration of the crossover between advertisement and art in everything from Wes Anderson, “Blade Runner” and the “Fast and Furious” franchise, to music videos, late night shows and plastic art. The book considers the impact of brand placement in TV series on teenagers, as well as the evolution of such placement in literature.
