Opis

What are the qualities and properties that make something cultural? What does claiming something as cultural allow us to do?"

Culture "offers students a workable understanding of the category culture and explores how the realm of the cultural can be practically explored as a way of understanding the world.

Ben Highmore provides a clear and robust defence of the productivity of cultural analysis in a media saturated world, while also instilling a sense of modesty in qualifying what can and can t be accomplished in the name of cultural analysis.

With extensive examples and case studies throughout, the book demonstrates both the productivity and the limitations in orientating analysis to the cultural.

A thought-provoking and engaging examination, "Culture" is an ideal introductory text for students of media and cultural studies."
