"Graeme Turner is one of the most remarkable figures in the world of
cultural studies. He has helped to make and remake the field over the
last twenty-five years. So when he sets his alarm clock - and it goes
off loudly - we all know it′s time to pay attention. This
extraordinary testament to what is right and wrong with cultural
studies today will reverberate across the globe." Toby Miller,
University of California This original, sharp and engaging book draws
the reader into a compelling exploration of cultural studies in the
twenty-first century. It offers a level-headed account of where
cultural studies has come from, the methodological and theoretical
dilemmas that it faces today and an agenda for its future development.
In an age in which the relevance of cultural studies has been called
into question, this book seeks to generate debate. Focusing upon the
actual practice of cultural studies within the university today, it
asks whether or not cultural studies has really managed to maintain a
connection with its original political and ethical mission and
comments on the strategies needed to regain the initiative. Written by
a world class figure in cultural studies, each chapter supports and
guides the reader by introducing the key issues, reviewing the
relevant commentary and offering a critical conclusion of how each
theme fits into a bigger picture. This timely and provocative
consideration of cultural studies as a global discipline will be
essential reading for academics and students working in the field for
years to come.
