Abstract:

Written by philosopher Jere Surber, Culture and Critique familiarizes students with both the broad and specialized meanings of cultural studies, providing detailed explanations of theoretical terms, critical strategies, and discursive traditions upon which it is based. This text is a useful reference for reading works in cultural studies, which puts unfamiliar terms and ideas into historical perspective and explains how the founding texts of the discipline first appeared.
