It is an outstandingly clear, beautifully written and authoritative book – and its breadth and depth will spark connections for old and new readers alike. Professor Jo Littler, City, University of London, UK Since its first publication in 1993 this has been my go-to introduction to cultural theory and popular culture. In part, this is because Storey writes with admirable clarity and concision but also because it is broad-ranging and full of useful and insightful examples that help students see how theory works in practice. Other reasons for choosing this as a course book are that it is constantly updated to take account of developments in cultural studies and that it is linked to a reader in which students can explore some of the texts that are discussed and illustrated in this book.Dr David Walton, Universidad de Murcia, Spain Details ISBN103248408X Author John Storey Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Edition Description 10th edition Year 2024 Edition 10th ISBN-13 9781032484082 Format Paperback Imprint Routledge Subtitle An Introduction Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Alternative 9781032484075 Illustrations 9 Tables, black and white; 6 Line drawings, black and white; 20 Halftones, black and white; 26 Illustrations, black and white Audience General DEWEY 306 Publication Date 2024-03-29 UK Release Date 2024-03-29 ISBN-10 103248408X Replaces 9780367820602 Pages 310 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
