Description:
Cultural studies face a complicated yet rich future, proving both flexible and resilient in many countries. This book offers a fresh perspective on the state of the field, via an evaluation of the work of one of its key thinkers - Graeme Turner - and the traditions of Australian cultural studies which have been influential on the formation of the field. This lively and provocative volume is essential reading for anyone interested in where cultural studies has come from, where it's heading to, and what kinds of ideas will help scholars and students alike make sense of and reconfigure the discipline. This book was originally published as a special issue of Cultural Studies.
