How to do cultural studies in the 21st century? This essay collection is
not a handbook, encyclopedia, or a"state of the field" compendium.
Instead, it is a reflexive exercise in cultural studies, featuring
fifteen accessible essays on a selection of critical key works published
since 2000. The contributors aim to provide readers with a fresh and
engaging look at recent criticism, exploring the interdisciplinary
traffic of theories, methods, and ideas within the field of cultural and
literary studies. This book shows how the work of Lauren Berlant, Rita
Felski, Fred Moten, Anna Tsing, and others can inspire new thinking and
theorizing for the twenty-first century.
