Praise for the first edition: "This is a great introduction and
contribution to the subject. It is unusually wide-ranging, covering
the historical development of cultural theory and deftly
highlighting key problems that just won't go away." - Matthew
Hills, Cardiff University "To say that the scope of the book's
coverage is wide-ranging would be an under-statement. Few texts
come to mind that have attempted such a thorough overview of the
central tenets of cultural studies." - Stuart Allan, Bournemouth
University This fully revised edition of the best selling
introduction to cultural studies offers students an authoritative,
comprehensive guide to cultural studies. Clearly written and
accessibly organized the book provides a major resource for
lecturers and students. Each chapter has been extensively revised
and new material covers globalization, the post 9/11 world and the
new language wars. The emphasis upon demonstrating the
philosophical and sociological roots of cultural studies has been
retained along with boxed entries on key concepts and issues.
Particular attention is paid to demonstrating how cultural studies
clarifies issues in media and communication studies, and there are
chapters on the global mediasphere and new media cultures. This is
a tried and tested book which has been widely used wherever
cultural studies is taught. It is an indispensable undergraduate
text and one that will appeal to postgraduates seeking a
'refresher' which they can dip into.
