النقد الثقافي: تمهيد مبدئي للمفاهيم الرئيسية

Rate this book

Arthur Asa Berger's unique ability to translate difficult theories into accessible language makes this book an ideal introduction to cultural criticism. Berger covers the key theorists, concepts, and subject areas, from literary, sociological, and psychoanalytical theories to semiotics and Marxism. Cultural Criticism breathes new life into the discipline by making these theories relevant to students' lives. The author illustrates his explanations with excerpts from classic works giving readers a sense of the important thinkers' style and helping place them in their context. Berger also provides a comprehensive bibliography on cultural criticism for those who wish to explore the topics at greater length.

Cultural Criticism is the perfect undergraduate supplemental text for such courses as media studies, literary criticism, and popular culture.

مع افتقار النّصّ المترجَم إلى المراجَعة- وهذا أوضَح من أن يُحتاج معه إلى البرهان، فأخطاء النَّحو والإملاء والأسلوب، فضلًا عن ركاكة البناء واستحالة المعنى في كثيرٍ من المَواضع- لا يَعدَم القارئ أن يضع يده على مفاتيح لموضوعاتٍ شتّى، تتّصل بالنَّقد الثقافيّ، لكن لا مندوحة عن متابَعة البحث وراءها في مصادرها الأصليّة، أو على الأقلّ في كتُبٍ قريبةٍ من المَصادر الأصليّة.

I've always liked Asa Berger's books on Media and Communication Studies. This book (primer) is good introductory read to the different theoritical and critical aspects of thoughts that have relevance to cultural studies in general and to the media, popular culture and related matters in particular.

مقدمة عن للنقد الثقافي وأهم النظريات والمفاهيم، من عيوبه أنه موجه للقارئ الأمريكي.. ولكنه لا يخلو من فائدة..
