Description

A resource book for students of cultural studies, which traces the formation of the field in Britain and its subsequent development internationally. Classic statements of culturalist, semiological and postmodern perspectives are contrasted with less familiar material illustrating the impact of feminism and the politics of sexuality, ethnicity and race. This second, expanded edition includes a new section exploring recent important work in international cultural studies, and provides readings on the social construction of the self and the role of public policy in the cultural field.
