This updated, new edition of Introducing Cultural Studies provides a
systematic and comprehensible introduction to the concepts, debates and
latest research in the field. Reinforcing the interdisciplinary nature
of Cultural Studies, the authors first guide the reader through cultural
theory before branching out to examine different dimensions of culture
in detail - including globalisation, the body, geography, fashion, and
politics.
Incorporating new scholarship and international examples, this new
edition includes:
- New and improved 'Defining Concepts', 'Key Influences', 'Example ',
and 'Spotlight' features that probe deeper into the most
significant ideas, theorists and examples, ensuring you obtain an
in-depth understanding of the subject.
- A brand new companion website featuring a flashcard glossary,
web links, discussion and essay questions to stimulate independent
study.
- A new-look text design with over 60 pictures and tables draws
all these elements together in an attractive, accessible design that
makes navigating the book, and the subject, simple and logical.
Introducing Cultural Studies will be core reading for Cultural Studies
undergraduates and postgraduates, as well as an illuminating guide for
those on Communication and Media Studies, English, Sociology, and Social
Studies courses looking for a clear overview of the field.
