This completely revised third edition of Introducing Cultural Studies provides a systematic overview of the concepts, theories, debates and latest research in the field. Reinforcing the interdisciplinary nature of Cultural Studies, it first considers cultural theory before branching out to examine different dimensions of culture in detail. New pedagogical features and a companion website support independent learning.This text will be core reading for undergraduates and postgraduates in a variety of disciplines - including Cultural Studies, Communication and Media Studies, English, Sociology, and Social Studies - looking for a clear and comprehensible introduction to the field.
