Description
This collection of readings aims to bring together in one volume representative statements of the different theoretical traditions which have been influential in shaping the subject of cultural studies, now an established part of the teaching of sociology, literature and related areas. Conceived to meet the needs of students on the Open University course Popular Culture, the volume aims to provide an introduction to the main concepts and contemporary debates in the field. Amongst the major themes are the contrast between "culturalist" and "structuralist" approaches, the relevance of Gramsci's work to cultural theory, and the contribution of perspectives standing outside Marxist debate.
