terms, the legacy of Doing Cultural Studies confirms that this
classic read is not just about the Walkman itself, but represents a
series of clear observations about the symbolic meanings of
culture." - LSE Review of Books Why think about the Walkman in the
21st century? Can the Walkman help us understand today's media and
