Cultural Studies 1 review
Routledge, 1991
Compelling collection of cultural studies essays
Grossberg, Nelson, and Treichler have compiled a compelling collection of cultural studies essays. The selections in the book examine cultural studies from multiple angles, demonstrating the difficulty in identifying one encompassing definition of cultural studies. The differences do not create dissonance, however; rather they create a thought provoking collection that is worth reading.

Cultural Studies and the Study of Popular Culture: Theories and Methods 2 reviews
John Storey
University of Georgia Press, 2003
A concise variety of theories for examining popular culture
I am using "Cultural Studies and the Study of Popular Culture" as the primary textbook in an "Introduction to Popular Culture" class. Now, on the one hand it is clear John Storey's book is not written at an introductory level, which would have been a reason for me not to select it for my class. But this volume has two strengths that overcome that particular liability. The first is that Storey ...

Introducing Cultural Studies, Third Edition (Introducing (Icon)) 3 reviews
Ziauddin Sardar
Totem Books, 2005
LIGHT ESSAY OF CULTURAL STUDIES
Ziauddin Sardar's "Introduction to Cultural Studies" is nothing more than the title indicates. This lenghty essay merely presents basic concepts that are prevalent in a postmodern discourse between societal values, power relations, and the value placed on cultural "norms" given in various communities. Sardar presents the history of Cultural Studies as a discipline, which begins in a social ...

Disciplinarity and Dissent in Cultural Studies
Cary Nelson
Routledge, 1996
As recently as the early 1990s, people wondered what was the future of cultural studies in the United States and what effects its increasing internationalization might have. What type of projects would cultural studies inspire people to undertake? Would established disciplines welcome its presence and adapt their practices accordingly? Disciplinarity and Dissent in Cultural Studies answers such questions. It is now clear that, while ...

The Cultural Study of Music 3 reviews
Routledge, 2003
excellent stuff!
for some this book is very tough (see other reviews), but I found it startlingly good - well edited, insightful and covering a wide range of materials ad concepts in the field. It's interetsing that those who don't like it are usually those who also don't like the critical turn in musicology. Choose your sides!!!

British Cultural Studies: An Introudction2 reviews
Graeme Turner
Routledge, 2002
Compulsory for any branch of Cultural Studies
I mark this book as a required text to my students in my Cultural Studies Course. Despite, or rather because of it's professed limitation to British Cultural Studies, Turner demonstrates a lot of sensitivity to what is and what is not British Cultural Studies, making any reader immediately aware of how other Cultural Studies traditions may differ. His extremely cogent and clear account takes the ...

Bob Ashley

What and how we eat are two of the most persistent choices we face in everyday life.

Yet, food has only recently become a significant and coherent area of inquiry for cultural studies and the social sciences. Food and Cultural Studies re-examines the ...
