Description

The interaction of feminism with cultural studies has revolutionized both fields. This book traces the complex relationship between the two, examining the ways in which feminism has affected the key theoretical developments since 1970 and has influenced - and contested - the directions of cultural studies research. It examines the engagement of feminist theory with psychoanalysis and structuralism, with ethnographic research, with theories of cultural consumption, and with concepts of technology, the body and modernity. It offers a survey and assessment of the literature around each of these topics, providing students with an overview of the field and a basis for developed study within both areas.
