This book draws together 13 distinctive and original explorations
of how dominant cultural mainstreams and margins are formed and
resisted, how they stabilize and shift, and how they permeate and
define each other. The chapters speak to central problems of
cultural politics that represent critical challenges for theory,
research, and action in the social world. The authors develop and
advance new approaches for interdisciplinary inquiry into
contemporary cultural issues. Drawing on and extending scholarship
in communication, political science, sociology, women's studies,
critical cultural studies, anthropology, and American studies, they
analyze what happens when marginal groups meet mainstream forces.
The chapters will enliven academic debates over what constitutes a
cultural mainstream or margin. This volume explores theories,
problems, and contemporary struggles over identity and
representation, ideology and hegemony, and discourse and action.
The essays focus on critical questions covering postcolonial
theory, primitivism, feminism, sexuality, the body, art,
multiculturalism, the environmental crisis, the mass media, and
social movements. The authors examine diverse issues, ranging from
the writing of women prisoners to how media policy is embedded in
cultural history, to the political implications of cultural
representations in cross-cultural contexts. Altogether, the
diversity and depth of the text will help us develop new and
complementary ways of thinking about critical questions in the
politics of culture.
