Garbage to feed your brain-dead, cultural studies loving sows for breakfast.

[Misato Yoshida · Rating 5 out of 5]

(これは読んだ、というか、必要な時にひく、という感じだけど。)

現代のメディアやら文化やらにまつわる論文書く人はぜっっったい手元に置いといた方が良い一冊。
さらっと使いがちな言葉…「アイデンティティ」「ふるまい」「大衆」「クィア」などなど…について、
きちんと説明がなされています。

わかっているつもりでもニュアンスが微妙に理解できていない言葉が多々ありました。
また、知らない言葉もありました。自分が論文を書く過程でのボキャブラリーが豊富になりました。

例え論文を書かない人でも、これにさらりと目を通すと「今何が語られているのか」がわかるかも。

Valuable for serving as a starting point for the discussion of key terms, such as "development," "globalization," and "space."
