Description
John Wiley Media and Cultural Studies 2001 Edition by Douglas Kellner, Meenakshi Gigi Durham
Media and Cultural Studies: KeyWorks is a comprehensive anthology of the most significant theoretical readings on critical approaches to media culture and communications. This volume brings together what are considered the Key Works of current theory and method for the study of the abundance and diversity of culture and society in the present age. Spanning the gamut from the writings of Antonio Gramsci and the Frankfurt School to recent essays on identity, race, gender, and the postmodern turn, this book offers a range of core texts that have never before been collected into a single volume. The editors' introduction provides an in-depth analytical overview of critical media studies, and each section is fully contextualized. Media and Cultural Studies: KeyWorks is an indispensable scholarly and pedagogical tool, which fills a longstanding gap in the literature of this area. It will be essential reading for scholars and students in cultural studies, media studies, sociology, and related disciplines. Table of contents : - Part I: Culture, Ideology and Hegemony: 1.
