Opis

A look at the strengths and weaknesses of cultural studies, providing a blend of performance and risk theory. It explores the need to erase the separation of high and popular culture studies, starting from the thesis that cultural studies has been too pre-occupied with popular culture.

Recenzje

`[An] excellent and an extremely valuable contribution to contemporary theory ....[The] political implications of this perspective are grasped both through the extensive use of case studies and the powerful critique of the presuppositions of expertise that have grounded so much theorizing....attractive and very welcome' - David Chaney, Professor of Sociology, University of Durham
