Culture: Key Ideas in Media & Cultural Studies
Autor Ben Highmoreen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 oct 2015
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.

Recenzii
"This book is full of things to think with, sometimes to argue with. Highmore roams around 'culture', thinking aloud, drawing in diverse materials, examples and experiences -- a painting by Turner, dirt, the clatter of Kinshasa, a hundred parakeets is a nursing home. The chapter on death manages to be both gut-wrenching and critically incisive, and is his finest work. In the end, Highmore argues for the study of culture that matters, and makes his case compellingly, sometimes surprisingly. He writes that 'culture gets under your skin', and so does this terrific book."
David Bell, Senior Lecturer in Critical Human Geography, University of Leeds, UK
"Ben Highmore has written the up-to-the-minute introduction to the concept of culture that we needed. It would be hard to imagine a better introduction to the topic than this fresh, interdisciplinary, engagingly-written book."
Simon During, Professorial Research Fellow, Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, The University of Queensland, Australia
"This is a fascinating and valuable book, one destined to find a broad readership among students and staff or anyone else interested in the complications of culture. Beautifully written and thoughtful throughout, it worries responsibly about culture and cultural analysis and how these might allow us to better understand the world."
John Storey, Professor of Cultural Studies and Associate Director of the Centre for Research in Media and Cultural Studies, University of Sunderland, UK
"Highmore (cultural studies, Univ. of Sussex, UK) addresses the topic of culture in full recognition of the hermeneutical complication inherent in the task. Instead of trying to define culture, the author moves diagonally to his theme by considering a cluster of topics by which the multiple meanings of culture are shown to resonate in palpable harmony. Discussing in turn notions such as politics, experience, death, and landscape, Highmore demonstrates how culture is continually formed, deformed, and reformed and how this formation produces the very concept of culture. Peppered with refreshing examples and case studies, the book provides a lively introduction to the important topic of culture that anyone interested in cultural analysis will find useful."

Descriere
Rather than seeking to establish a definite and discrete terrain that can be named as ‘culture’ Ben Highmore demonstrates how the cultural is much better understood as an approach to phenomena rather than an adequate description of the phenomena itself. The book provides a clear and robust defense of the productivity of cultural analysis in a media saturated world; offering a workable understanding of the category ‘culture’ and the ‘cultural’ as well as a clear sense of the practical possibilities involved in cultural approaches to understanding the world.
