Brief Description
In this third edition of his successful introduction to cultural theory and popular culture, John Storey has extensively revised the text throughout. As before, the book presents a clear and critical survey of competing theories of and various approaches to popular culture. In addition to the theories and approaches discussed in the first two editions, there is a new section on Queer Theory. Four sections have been extended, with new material on Reading Romance, Reading Women's Magazines, Feminism as Social Practice and Men's Studies and Masculinities. Illustrations have been added.
Retaining the accessible approach of the the first two editions, and using relevant and appropriate examples from the texts and practices of popular culture, this new edition is bound to remain a favourite with students and lecturers alike.
