First line

When you start to study any topic or subject it is always useful to think about how that topic or subject has been defined by others and what questions are raised about the subject in the process of attempting to define it.

This accessible introduction to the study of culture is written specifically for those who are new to the subject. The book includes numerous student-friendly features throughout, encouraging the reader to think analytically about culture and how it can be interpreted.

  • Incorporates new work on the study of space, place, identity, gender, and cultural history, as well as new sections on cultural studies theories and methodology in each chapter
  • Introduces more complex issues including high and popular culture, subjectivities, consumption, and new technologies, and a fully updated section on new and enduring trends in technology and culture
  • Features useful exercises and activities, selections of readings, author commentaries, and a full set of new case studies with a global emphasis.
