Cultural theory and popular culture.

This book presents a clear and critical survey of competing theories of and various approaches to popular culture. Its breadth and theoretical unity, exemplified through popular culture, means that it can be flexibly and relevantly applied across a number of disciplines. Also retaining the accessible approach of previous editions, and using appropriate examples from the texts and practices of popular culture, this new edition remains a key introduction to the area. This new edition is extensively revised, rewritten and updated with improved and expanded content throughout. It contains new sections on The English Marxism of William Morris, Post-Feminism, and Whiteness.
