Ribbon culturecharity, compassion, and public awareness /[electronic resource] :Sarah E.H. Moore. - Bastingstoke [England] ;Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - ix, 190 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 164-186) and index.

Introduction -- Ribbon-wearing : towards a theoretical framework -- Flags and poppies : charity tokens of the early twentieth century -- Ribbon histories -- Symbolic uses of the ribbon -- 'Showing awareness' and the 1960s counter-culture : breaking rules and finding the self -- Worry as a manifestation of awareness : the implications of 'thinking pink' -- The commercialisation of charity and the commodification of compassion -- Conclusion.

Since its emergence in 1991, the 'awareness' ribbon has achieved thekind of cultural status usually reserved for big brand icons and religious symbols; yet its meaningfulness as a symbol is often questioned byactivists and media commentators. Certainly, 'showing awareness' is not as straightforward a social practice as it might at first seem. The ribbon is, for example, both a kitsch fashion accessory as well as an emblem that expresses empathy; it is a symbol that represents awareness, yet requires no knowledge of the cause it represents; it appears to signal concern for others, but infact prioritises self-expression. RibbonCulture explores ambiguities surrounding these ribbons, thenature of contemporary mourning practices, the sociology of compassion, the marketing discourses ofcharities and the relationship between awareness andconsumerism.
