A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

A companion volume to <I>Mass Media and Society</I>, this textbook is an introduction to cultural studies, written by influential scholars and researchers in the field. It offers a critical guided tour through the key debates raised by feminism, postmodernism, the politics of identity and theories of ideology. It goes beyond a narrow definition of cultural studies in terms of the audience to consider the entire communication circuit from production to consumption within a wider theoretical framework.
