Culture, Ideology and Social Process

by Tony Bennett (Editor)

After two decades of development, cultural studies now occupy a place of central importance in the teaching of sociology, literature and related areas.

This collection of readings brings together in one volume representative statements of the different theoretical traditions which have been most influential in shaping the subject. Conceived in the first instance to meet the needs of students on the Open University course Popular Culture, the volume aims to provide a clear introduction to the main concepts and contemporary debates in the field. Amongst the major themes it is concerned to explore are the contrast between 'culturalist' and 'structuralist' approaches to the study of cultural forms, the relevance of Gramsci's work to cultural theory and the contribution of perspectives which stand outside Marxist debate.
