Relocating Cultural Studies: Developments in Theory and Research

by Valda Blundell (Editor), John Shepherd (Editor), Ian Taylor (Editor)

Overview

Britain is no longer the sole organizing centre for cultural studies. The contributors to this volume demonstrate how cultural studies has diffused into other English-speaking countries and how its original concerns have been renegotiated and changed. The result is a landmark book which provides students with an unrivalled guide to the international phenomenon of cultural studies.
