From Marketing Screens to Mall Shopping the Structure of Consumer Response

Mapping our way through consumer understanding as an actively interpreting audience of globally brandscaped space-time in digital media and downtown malls requires that we rethink communication concepts originating in positivist theory implying a viewer's passive response. Philosophy is a plausible source for this reshaping of investigative ideas. The paper draws upon hermeneutic phenomenology ('understanding understanding') to develop a processual model of Malaysian multi-cultural response to YouTube video on telecommunications as well as to the 'You' shaped ego-positioning address characterising selling in malls. For these are analogous instances of how we make interpretive sense of surroundings.
