A Companion to Cultural Studies Bewertungen

"A remarkably impressive and international collection... beautifully captures the restlessness, the malleability, and the theoretical flexibility of cultural studies, while exposing some of its limitations and failings... a provocative, readable and useful collection." Media International Australia "Topics and methods of the global contributors are diverse and imaginative... readable and accessible to uninitiated outsiders and curious onlookers." Choice "A handy resource in which any university or college interested in contemporary cultural studies will want to invest." European Journal of Communication "Well organized." Times Higher Education Supplement "An expansive volume... beneficial for the experienced student or teacher, and an appropriate enough introduction for the novice." Design Issues "Timely... Strong on recommended source materials, with good stuff in each section, and a bibliographical section at the end. For the money, then, you would get a well-informed check-list of key works written/published over the last few decades... The case for making cultural studies more political, economic, and policy-related is well put." Reference Reviews "Monumental... an excellent place to start exploring conundrums surrounding the vexed institutional and academic location of cultural studies... a sustained, diverse, contentious set of reflections of what cultural studies might do, where, and how... [It] stunningly illustrates the interdisciplinarity of the field... a rich collection." American Anthropologist
