Power has long been a central preoccupation of social and cultural
analysis. "Culture and Power" focuses on power to shape a history
of Cultural Studies. A critical analysis of the nature and purpose
of Cultural Studies, the book assesses the development of the
discipline from the work of Michel Foucault in post-war France and
the Birmingham Centre for Cultural Studies in the 1970s to the
expansion of the field in the United States and present day
concerns with culture, politics and ethics. As Cultural Studies has
shifted, the concept of power has changed and become more
problematic. Moving on from the celebrated "culture wars" - and
battles over language, objective knowledge and disciplinary values
and meanings - "Culture and Power" unravels the social, ideological
and political knots bound up in the concept of power. In doing so,
the book charts not only the history but also the possible future
of Cultural Studies.
