Stereotypes, not least national stereotypes, remain as popular as ever in advertising. But are such fossilized (thought) patterns really still to be utilized in a convincing manner? Are their usage, in our world marked by a transformational dynamic of great speed and the necessity to act in a quick and flexible manner, not actually completely absurd? How may one, indeed, square the homogeneity, generalizing and complexity-reduction of stereotypes in advertising with the increasingly complex and differentiated worldview and the multiple identities of the consumers of these advertisements? This essay asks these questions and attempts to formulate answers, drawn from contemporary social scientific and cultural studies perspectives.
