At last years Construction Marketing Question Time at the Building Centre in London, over fifty representatives of leading edge consultants, contractors and manufacturers debated the state of marketing and business development in the UK construction industry. What was very noticeable was the apparent lack of understanding of the meaning of marketing, selling, branding etc. and how these could be integrated with overall business and project planning in construction.

In an era of 'cheap is chic,' wealthy shoppers haggle to win even the smallest discounts. Grey consumers, the fastest growing group of internet users, buy more rap/techno music than anyone else. And the power of micro-marketing and the Web have revolutionized forever the means of wooing new customers. The dawn of the New Consumer is here.Exploring the very essence of who these New Consumers are and what it takes to appeal to their needs, wants, and motivations, THE SOUL OF THE NEW CONSUMER offers a revealing look at the unseen influences driving consumer choice.

In the 1990s, a new niche market emerged in the United States: gay and lesbian consumers were targeted by both mainstream and gay and lesbian producers. Selling Out asks: What is the relationship between this niche market and the social movement that works for gay and lesbian rights? Locating the niche market and social movement in the context of the rise of consumer culture and pictorial advertising and the rise of identity-based social movements over the course of the 20th century, Chasin examines specific sites of intersection between them: the gay and lesbian press, advertising, boycotting, and the mechanisms of funding the movement. Chasin identifies the dynamics of race, gender, and class, as well as the ubiquitous nationalism, that inform both political and commercial practices in the gay and lesbian community.

Alterity is not a mere synonym of difference; what it signifies is otherness, a distinction or separation that can entail similarity as well as difference. The articles collected here explore ways to define, situate and negotiate alterity in a manner that does not do away with the other through negation or neutralization but that instead engages alterity as a reconfiguring of identities that keeps them open to change, to a becoming without horizon. Alterity and its situated negotiations with identity are configured through the body, through the psyche and through translational politics. From critical readings of angels, specters, grotesque bodies, online avatars, Sex and the City, pornography in French literature, Australian billboard art, Pina Bausch, Adrian Piper, Kashmiri poetry, contemporary German fiction, Jacques Brault and Northern-Irish poetry, there emerges a vision of identities as multi-faceted constructions that are continually being transformed by the various alterities with which they intersect and which they must actively engage in order to function effectively in the social, political, and aesthetic realm.
