Media Consumption in Malaysia: A Hermeneutics of Human Behaviour (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781138492295)

This book focuses upon fundamental axioms in audience and consumer, media and marketing studies in the context of Malaysia, a multi-cultural nation with its diversity in culture which proves an intricate culture nuance for the understanding of consumption. It analyses Chinese, Indian, Indigenous, and Malay Malaysian citizen-consumers immersed in their participatory or promotional media. Setting mall and media visiting side by side as metaphor and mirror of each other enables a behavioural analysis, shaped by the philosophical psychology of understanding of Heidegger's hermeneutics.
