A rapidly changing world - in part driven by huge transformations
in technology and mobility - means we all encounter shifting
cultures, and new cultural and social interactions daily. Powerful
forces such as consumption and globalization exert an enormous
influence on all walks and levels of life across both space and
time. Cultural Studies remains at the vanguard of consideration of
these issues. This completely revised second edition of Introducing
Cultural Studies gives a systematic overview of the concepts,
theories, debates and latest research in the field. Reinforcing the
interdisciplinary nature of Cultural Studies, it first considers
cultural theory before branching out to examine different
dimensions of culture in detail. Key features: * Collaboratively
authored by an interdisciplinary team * Closely cross-referenced
between chapters and sections to ensure an integrated presentation
of ideas * Figures, diagrams, cartoons and photographs help convey
ideas and stimulate * Key Influence, Defining Concepts, and Extract
boxes focus in on major thinkers, ideas and works * Examines
culture along the dividing lines of class, race and gender *
Weblinks and Further Reading sections encourage and support further
investigation Changes for this edition: * Brand new chapter
addresses how culture is researched and knowledge in cultural
studies is produced * Brand new chapter on the Postmodernisation of
Everyday Life * Includes hot topics such as globalization, youth
subcultures, 'virtual' cultures, body modification, new media,
technologically-assisted social networking and many more This text
will be core reading for undergraduates and postgraduates in a
variety of disciplines - including Cultural Studies, Communication
and Media Studies, English, Geography, Sociology, and Social
Studies - looking for a clear and comprehensible introduction to
the field.
