Great Introduction into Cultural Studies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
For some time now, Douglas Kellner has been arguing for the importance of media and culture in today's politics. This book is a great introduction for students into why he has placed such an emphasis on this issue. Kellner pulls together Marxism, postmodern theory, and British Cultural Studies in conrete analyses of media culture. The downside to this book is that the objects it analyzes are a bit dated now, but nonetheless theoretically relevant.
A highly relevant, prescient and insightful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Kellner's research examines the construction of social reality by exploring and analyzing contemporary media culture. His work on understanding how cultural identity is shaped by media is an extremely useful and fascinating critique on modern society. In addition, Kellner offers a well-written overview of some of the theory behind the big ideas and concepts used to interpret our media-based world.
