Overview
"In this second edition of Culture, the author argues that to understand the concept of culture we need to locate it within traditions of thought and appreciate its political and ideological bases. He looks at the concept in the context of idealism and materialism, examining its relation to the notion of social structure and assessing its once assumed monopoly within literary study." Culture has been updated throughout, and includes new sections on visual culture, urban culture, and subcultures. This comprehensive introduction to the subject remains accessible and stimulating, and will appeal to students of sociology and cultural studies.Book Details
