Rezensionen

Media International Australia
"A remarkably impressive and international collection... beautifully captures the restlessness, the malleability, and the theoretical flexibility of cultural studies, while exposing some of its limitations and failings... a provocative, readable and useful collection."

Choice
"Topics and methods of the global contributors are diverse and imaginative... readable and accessible to uninitiated outsiders and curious onlookers."

European Journal of Communication
"A handy resource in which any university or college interested in contemporary cultural studies will want to invest."

Times Higher Education Supplement
"Well organized."

Design Issues
"An expansive volume... beneficial for the experienced student or teacher, and an appropriate enough introduction for the novice."

Reference Reviews
"Timely... Strong on recommended source materials, with good stuff in each section, and a bibliographical section at the end. For the money, then, you would get a well-informed check-list of key works written/published over the last few decades... The case for making cultural studies more political, economic, and policy-related is well put."

American Anthropologist
"Monumental... an excellent place to start exploring conundrums surrounding the vexed institutional and academic location of cultural studies... a sustained, diverse, contentious set of reflections of what cultural studies might do, where, and how... [It] stunningly illustrates the interdisciplinarity of the field... a rich collection."

Andrew Ross, New York University
"Encyclopedic in its aims, this volume is as much a lively intervention as it is a trusted companion to the field. You can safely add it to your collection of 'really useful' books."

Tony Bennett, The Open University
"The book will provide a very welcome service in the classroom. Toby Miller has produced a volume of sound structure and organization. The contributors bring a rich mix of authority and experience to the book."

Media International Australia
"As a whole the collection beautifully captures the restlessness, the malleability, and the theoretical flexibility of cultural studies, while at the same time exposing some of its limitations and failings ... Overall this is a provocative, readable and useful collection which points as much to the future as the past of cultural studies. It is a valuable point of reference for those who teach or research in any of the disciplines and fields touched by cultural studies, and especially those who are in the process of discovering and grappling with this 'tendency across disciplines'."

Choice
"Topics and methods of the global contributors are diverse and imaginative... readable and accessible to unitiated outsiders and curious onlookers."

Design Issues
"This edition has enough to be beneficial for the experienced student or teacher, and an appropriate enough introduction for the novice."
