Graeme Turner è un eminente studioso di studi culturali il cui lavoro esamina criticamente la cultura popolare e i media contemporanei. Si addentra nelle complessità del cinema, della televisione e dei media digitali, esplorando il loro impatto sull'identità nazionale e sulla formazione del discorso pubblico. Turner indaga il panorama mediatico in evoluzione in un'era post-radiodiffusione, analizzando come Internet e i nuovi formati rimodellano il nostro consumo e la nostra interpretazione dei contenuti culturali. Le sue intuizioni offrono una lente vitale per comprendere le dinamiche dell'ambiente mediatico e la sua profonda influenza sulla società moderna.

The new edition of this highly successful text provides a comprehensive introduction to the British tradition of Cultural Studies. The British school has been a major influence in the humanities and social sciences, radically redefining the study of popular culture, the media and everyday life. Graeme Turner offers an accessible overview to the central themes that have informed British Cultural Studies; language, semiotics, Marxism and ideology, individualism and subjectivity and discourse. In the first part of the book Turner presents a history of British cultural studies focusing on the work of such pioneers as Raymond Williams, Richard Hoggart, E. P. Thompson, Stuart Hall and the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies. In the second section he focuses on the central categories of cultural studies; text and textuality, audiences, everyday life and the concept of ideology. The second edition is fully revised to include issues in Cultural Studies and to update key debates and references. New sections include the influence of postmodernism, the politics of pleasure identified with the 'New Revisionism', Foucault and discourse, the politics of cultural studies, Gender and Race in the history of British Cultural Studies, and a fully updated and comprehensive bibliography.
