Death and Consumer Culture

Among the most veiled and emotionally charged of life’s experiences are those related to death. Given that poetry has long been recognized as an unparalleled means of expressing and understanding the most complex and emotional aspects of life (Sherry and Schouten, 2002), it is of little surprise that few poets regarded as the finest of all wordsmiths have not, since time immemorial, grappled with death.

Recently, within marketing and consumer research, poetry has slowly but progressively come to be recognized as a means by which to understand, express, celebrate, and/or confront that which defies scientific or other more “scholarly” explanation (Canniford, 2012; Wijland, 2011; Sherry and Schouten, 2002). This “poetic turn” has manifest itself most notably within the nascent realm of Consumer Culture Theory (CCT); mainly in poetry reading sessions held—with published chapbooks in hand—in concurrence with the annual CCT symposium. Death-related poetry penned by marketing and consumer researchers has there entered—albeit randomly—the CCT circuit (see, for example: Arnould, 2014; Steinfield, 2014; Gabel, 2013, 2010; Downey, 2011, 2010a, 2010b, 2010c).

This chapter represents the first formal, organized attempt to better understand death-related consumption experience and meaning via the creation and dissemination of original works of poetry. The chapter’s title reflects the broad, eclectic perspective of death and consumption herein pursued. We consider funerary and other—good, service, and ideological—product consumption activities and experiences transpiring in the context of death. We also embrace the notion that death often brutally consumes those dealing with it; a sort of “consumption of consumers by death.” In turn, as vividly expressed in several of the poems in this chapter, consumption acts or experiences and/or memories thereof may be instrumental in coping with “being consumed by death.”

Cordel: a literatura em versos e seu papel jornalístico

Este trabalho aborda umas das mais ricas manifestações culturais do Nordeste brasileiro, a Literatura de Cordel. Pretende abordar também, o papel jornalístico que a Literatura em versos desempenha, ou seja, uma forma de Jornalismo Popular exercido pelo povo nordestino. O trabalho traça um levantamento das formas populares e particulares de se fazer Jornalismo, as quais estão fora dos padrões da imprensa oficial e das instituições de Comunicação. O trabalho proposto tece considerações acerca das características do Cordel, a função que desempenha e a relevância no contexto popular nordestino

This Wildest Year: A collection of poems and photographs

The chapbooks created in the year ending in June 2012 include eleven themed collections and three installments of “In Thirteen Moons,” which didn’t get completed till that fall. This Wildest Year brings together the poems of the eleven themed chapbooks, each as a separate chapter. I have e-published this book for three reasons. First, the chapbooks have all been printed in very limited runs, and few copies remain to be shared with friends, old and new. Second, by ordering the chapters more or less chronologically, one can more easily see themes unfold and new connections made. And finally, this e-book is a bit of an experiment, allowing me to develop skills in self-publishing and graphic design. I hope you will find it to be a successful experiment.

En los albores de la celestinesca : Sobre el "Romance nuevamente hecho de Calisto y Melibea" en el pliego suelto de 1513

El Romance nueuamente hecho de Calisto y Melibea, pliego suelto impreso en 1513 (Jacobo Cromberger, Sevilla), un "romance-cuento" (según Menéndez Pidal) de 680 versos octosilábicos, atestigua una pronta transformación genérica: de la prosa dramática de Celestina a un poema narrativo con narrador extradiegético. La trama concisa incluye los típicos motivos narrativos del romancero hispánico (por ejemplo, el protagonista como un cazador) y acentúa el tema del pecado y el castigo (tomado de los paratextos de Celestina), también presente en los primeros pliegos sueltos cantados por ciegos. Existen evidencias de que el texto base ha sido la Comedia, no la Tragicomedia. Este texto temprano debería ser considerado un hito en la historia de la celestinesca
