What is Cultural Studies : Theory and Practice about?

This text aims to provide a comprehensive account of western cultural studies, including summaries and discussions of its main arguments and sites of intellectual inquiry. Barker (affiliation not cited) emphasizes the ideas of theorists (some of whom would not necessarily describe themselves as working within cultural studies), rather than context-specific empirical work. Particular attention has been paid to the kind of cultural studies influenced by poststructuralist theories of language, representation, and subjectivity. The volume concludes with an extensive glossary of terms. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR \"Cultural Studies maps the field, and guides the reader through all the core topics included on Cultural Studies courses, including: the key concepts in cultural studies; the key figures and schools of thought; the essential methodologies; the historical roots of the subject; the turns toward ideology, language, gender, race and identity; the challenges posed by postmodernism and postcolonialism.\"--Publisher
