Description

`A scholarly lexicon and stimulating "rough guide" for cultural studies as it confronts and navigates the shifting sands of past, present and future' - Tim O'Sullivan, Head of Media and Cultural Production, De Montfort University

`I'm certain undergraduate and postgraduate readers will consider the Dictionary to be a highly useful resource. Taken together, the definitions provide a effective overview of the field' - Stuart Allan, Reader in Cultural Studies, University of the West of England, Bristol

`Any student wishing to acquaint her or himself with the field of cultural studies will find this an enormously useful book' - Joke Hermes, Editor, European Journal of Cultural Studies and Lecturer in Television Studies, University of Amsterdam

Containing over 200 entries on key concepts and theorists, the Dictionary provides an unparalled guide to the terrain of cultural studies. The definitions are authoritative, stimulating and written in an accessible style. There are up-to-date entries on new concepts and innovative approaches.

An ideal teaching and research resource, the Dicitionary can also be used as a companion to Chris Barker's highly successful Cultural Studies: Theory and Practice (Second Edition, SAGE, 2003) and in conjunction with his Making Sense of Cultural Studies (SAGE, 2002)

Recent Product Reviews:

The Dictionary is very good for students, who want easy access to well writen and short paragraphs about many essential subjects in Cultural Studies. I recommend this book for students of Culture.
Mr Bastian Friborg, IQkultur, IQkultur
"This dictionary of cultural studies provides a handy and wonderfully comprehensive guide- it doesn’t purport to tell the whole story, but it does offer to introduce readers and point out further paths. This short dictionary is a wonderful addition to the world of cultural studies. Students will find it a godsend; teachers, a springboardto an exciting intellectual milieu within communication studies; and libraries, a hard-to-keep-the shelves volume."
Paul A. Soukup, Santa Clara University
