none of my favorites: http://www.archive.org/details/OnceUpon1956 Once Upon a Honeymoon (1956) Delightful musical made to promote color telephones as a decorator accessory in the home. But there is so much more here to see dealing with work, relationships, health, creativity, and the pleasures of consumerism. ========================================================================== Paul Jones "Work as if you live in the early days of a better nation."

Here's my collection of 19th-century electric device ads http://www.uiowa.edu/obermann/electric/ Karla Tonella
See Ad* Access http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/adaccess/ "The Ad*Access Project, funded by the Duke Endowment "Library 2000" Fund, presents images and database information for over 7,000 advertisements printed in U.S. and Canadian newspapers and magazines between 1911 and 1955. Ad*Access concentrates on five main subject areas: Radio, Television, Transportation, Beauty and Hygiene, and World War II, providing a coherent view of a number of major campaigns and companies through images preserved in one particular advertising collection available at Duke University." The Emergence of Advertising in America: 1850 - 1920 (EAA) http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/eaa/ "presents over 9,000 images, with database information, relating to the early history of advertising in the United States." also based on the Duke University collection - John H.

Dear Fernando, Paul, Mary and List A fascinating topic and i won't repeat in full here the recent DRHA conference call (see http://www.dartington.ac.uk/drha06/index.asp if not familiar, Sept 3-6) but it will be loosely based on a "past", "present", "future" structure so I hope some/several research presentations (and one keynote) will be in this first category.... Ah the romanticism of it all... In terms of direct help (or perhaps more indirect help as "promotions" and "mentions" rather than "commercials" per se) to your project the Barbican (London) had a retro exhibition of games' machines in 1998 and the effective catalogue was "re:play" (Liz Faber, published by Laurence King UK) which has some excellent reproductions of graphics from a wide selection of both console and Net-based games. In that latter context "Atlas of Cyberspace" (Martin Dodge and Rob Kitchin, published by Addison-Wesley (UK) 2001 included (Ch 3) Mapping the Web. Perha[s of more immediate interest (and access) if you're more interested in post WW2 images of British-back-to-being-housewives women lovingly stocking up their new fridges or doing the vacuum cleaning with gusto, sites like the Google (beta) Video archive at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2207857877868779946&q=housewife might prove interesting. Also Macfilms claims to locate 624 TV ads from the 1950s and 60s - everything from new gadgets to blood donations - see http://www.macfilms.com/TV%20Ads%20TOC.htm And don't forget the conference!:-) b.

Having viewed Ted Friedman's book excerpt online of his Apple ad 1984 book chpater, I'm surprised that in discussing many of the same issues, he didn't seem to have been aware of earlier research on this subject--as in Stein's 1984 Mac ad analysis. --Karla Tonella
Thanks, Karla. I also just wrote an email to him saying I was glad to see further work was being done of this ad but was concerned that his lit review didn't seem to have uncovered my work to be cited. If he weren't a communication scholar it could be just one of those "we don't cite anyone outside our field" but not in this case. Well, I don't want a fight but it is disappointing. S

Ooops--My apologies to the air list. I sent an email meant to go to an individual expressing my disappointment in another author's lack of citing that I inadvertently sent to the whole list. Just when I think I have got past doing something that fatuous this far along in a CMC world--splat! Egg on my face!

David Silver spoke of Ted Friedman's analysis of the 1984 Macintosh ad in his forthcoming book. You can also see my 2002 extensive analysis of this ad in: The "1984" Macintosh ad: Cinematic icons and constitutive rhetoric in the launch of a new machine.

Hi, getting back to myspace and race. Since my group of students and I have been focused on looking at biracial users from low-income bacgrounds and have been going back and forth from doing user-end interviews to doing textual/semiotic analyses of their (and their listed friends') sites -and since on myspace I am connected to mostly non-white groups (South Asians etc) I actually have less general knowledge about the "white" populations in these spaces. So my question is for those of you who are studying myspace and doing analyses of white-appearing youngsters - can you tell me the significance of the quizzes they tend to have link to their sites - if they do? thanks, radhika _________ http://cyberdiva.typepad.com
Hi, not a commerical, but a fascinating (promotional) documentary on the development of ARPANET is well worth looking at. It is titled, "Computer Networks: The Heralds of Resource Sharing" from 1972. For details, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Networks:_The_Heralds_of_Resource_Shar... cheers martin
