Crónica de una subversión boicoteada: la publicidad, la moda y el arte de vanguardia

Abstract

In the following text I track some ideological, aesthetic and discursive features of the contemporary publicity. My approach is that publicity uprises in a narrow proximity with the aesthetic of some of the artistic vanguards of modernity. These two discursive matrices would have a special link if we take into account that the vanguards advocated the fusion of art with life whereas publicity performs a synthesis between these significance ambits (of course it would be a diferent synthesis everytime that the scenario in which it is performed are the consumerist societies). The text contains besides a brief excursus around the impact that this publicity co-optation of vanguardist aesthetics has had in the fashion industry.
