British Cultural Studies
An Introduction
Description:... The development of the British tradition of cultural studies is perhaps the most significant event in contemporary humanities and social sciences. This introductory-level survey of the field provides an overview of the key concepts and central themes that have informed British cultural studies: language, semiotics, Marxism, individualism, and discourse theory. It provides a brief history of the development of the British tradition and analyzes central categories of cultural studies: the notion of the text, audiences, everyday life, and the understanding of ideology.
