This new textbook addresses the neglect of practical research
methods in cultural studies. It provides students with clearly
written overviews of research methods in cultural studies, along
with guidelines on how to put these methods into operation. It
advocates a multi-method approach, with students drawing from a
pool of techniques and approaches suitable for their own topics of
investigation. The book covers the following main areas:
Drawing on experience, and studying how narratives make sense of
experience.
Investigating production processes in the cultural industries,
and the consumption and assimilation of cultural products by
audiences and fans.
Taking both quantitative and qualitative approaches to the study
of cultural life.
Analysing visual images and both spoken and written forms of
discourse.
Exploring cultural memory and historical representation.
The contributors, along with Michael Pickering, are Martin
Barker, Aeron Davis, David Deacon, Emily Keightley, Steph Lawler,
Anneke Meyer, Virginia Nightingale, and Sarah Pink. The book is
designed for use by students on upper-level undergraduate and
taught Masters-level courses as well as postgraduate research
students and cultural studies researchers more generally. It will
be of enormous value across all fields of study involved in
cultural enquiry and analysis.
