This volume brings together sixteen essays on key and intersecting
topics in critical cultural studies from major scholars in the
field. Taking into account the vicissitudes of political, social,
and cultural issues, the contributors engage deeply with the
evolving understanding of critical concepts such as history,
community, culture, identity, politics, ethics, globalization, and
technology. The essays address the extent to which these concepts
have been useful to scholars, policy makers, and citizens, as well
as the ways they must be rethought and reconsidered if they are to
continue to be viable. Each essay considers what is known and
understood about these concepts. The essays give particular
attention to how relevant ideas, themes, and terms were developed,
elaborated, and deployed in the work of James W. Carey, the
"founding father" of cultural studies in the United States. The
contributors map how these important concepts, including Carey's
own work with them, have evolved over time and how these concepts
intersect. The result is a coherent volume that redefines the
still-emerging field of critical cultural studies. Contributors are
Stuart Allan, Jack Zeljko Bratich, Clifford Christians, Norman
Denzin, Mark Fackler, Robert Fortner, Lawrence Grossberg, Joli
Jensen, Steve Jones, John Nerone, Lana Rakow, Quentin J. Schultze,
Linda Steiner, Angharad N. Valdivia, Catherine Warren, Frederick
Wasser, and Barbie Zelizer.
