Co-opting Culture: Culture and Power in Sociology and Cultural
Studies represents a collection of new scholarship on culture from
the social sciences and from work done under the rubric of
'cultural studies'. Working from the idea that Sociology and
Cultural Studies have developed distinct and valuable toolkits for
understanding culture, the editors have brought together a
collection of essays that address the ways in which the cultures
around race, sex, and gender are mediated through or intersect with
politics, society, and economy. Some essays deal directly with the
theoretical nature of this mediation, while others adopt these
theoretical approaches to investigate specific cultural objects or
communities. In doing so, these essays call attention to the
particularities of form that constitute a kind of cultural logic
around the objects under consideration.

Though he directed only a handful of films, Lindsay Anderson was --
and remains -- one of the most radical and influential voices in
all of cinema. The director of such landmark films as "This
Sporting Life, If..." and "O Lucky Man!, " Anderson was also a
highly acclaimed stage director and a brilliant, provocative
critic. "Never Apologise" collects some his finest essays,
including pieces on Chaplin, Welles, and John Ford; England (he was
a Scot); Gielgud and Richardson; and most illuminatingly, on
himself. His work may not make for comfortable reading, but his
wisdom and relevance are undeniable.
