Overview

Deconstruction thrives on uncertainty, which is often baffling for newcomers. Applying complex theory to recognisable examples from pop music, TV, film, books and newspapers, Paul Bowman clearly unpicks the ideas of deconstruction. This book shows all students of Cultural Studies how to use deconstruction to read and make sense of culture today.

Synopsis

How can the study of pop music, TV and film give insight into issues of culture? This book shows how deconstruction theory allows us to read and interpret the popular culture that surrounds us. Applying complex theory to recognizable examples, Paul Bowman turns deconstruction into an indispensable tool for all students of Cultural Studies.
