Synopsis

This new textbook addresses the neglect of practical research methods in cultural studies. It provides readers with clearly written overviews of research methods in cultural studies, along with guidelines on how to put these methods into operation.

The book covers the following main areas:

  • Drawing on experience, and studying how narratives make sense of experience.
  • Investigating production processes in the cultural industries, and the consumption and assimilation of cultural products by audiences and fans.
  • Taking both quantitative and qualitative approaches to the study of cultural life.
  • Analysing visual images and both spoken and written forms of discourse.
  • Exploring cultural memory and historical representation.

Key Features
