Lupton- Subliminal seduction
Hermeneutics is a fancy word for Interpretation
Structures of social control: we would expect her to be receptive to the idea of subliminal advertising, her argument is largely critical - but still thinks it locates an important truth.
Bryan wilson wrote a book "Subliminal Seduction", he spent a lot of time talking about the images and how they have a lot of sexual connotations. Folic objects and images can be found within other images to give subliminal messages towards sex.
Falic objects can be found in the ice cubes and even the word sex spelt out in each letter within individual ice cubes. Luton suggests that wilson persuades or massages the reader - he first makes us look for letters and suggest diagonal for X's. We are seeing what the images is trying to provide we are seeing what he is telling us. Making us believe that there are in fact some subliminal messages. Once he has lured us in convincing us that the word sex appears, He uses more direct forms of persuasion and imagery by saying that there are lips in the bottom of the glass and faces in some other parts of the glass which makes us believe that there is ultimately a form of subliminal message.
