Introducing Cultural and Media Studies: A Semiotic Approach Paperback – 7 March 2002
This second edition of the popular introductory textbook Tools for Cultural Studies, has been thoroughly revised and updated for a new generation of students taking introductory courses in cultural studies and cultural analysis at a tertiary level. It provides a solid grounding in the key terms and theories necessary for the study of popular culture and media texts. Without underestimating the complexity of the social, this text encourages a critical and inventive attitude to cultural theory and, through its practical step-by-step approach, is very confidence-building.

Product description
Review
'Focusing on visually mediated culture and linguistic discourses, and revealing all as sites of power / knowledge, interpellation and so on, this book will surely seize the imagination of new undergraduates. It will prove helpful to teachers, too, not least because it includes comprehensive exercises and further activities within each chapter. It could therefore constitute a complete course resource.' - Times Higher Education Supplement

Book review
Reviewed in the United States on 19 February 2011Verified Purchase
Very good condition, postage and shipping process a bit slow and I was disappointed that the book was so cheap, but ended up costing nearly the same price of buying it new in a retail store because of the shipping charges, so I probably wouldn't buy something like that again.
