Introduction to Cultural Theory

Introduction to Cultural Theory is a comparative and comprehensive survey of leading thinkers and important debates in the field of cultural theory. This second edition, completely revised and enriched with new chapters and subheadings, includes the theoretical line extending from Durkheim and Weber to Foucault and Butler, as well as thinkers such as Nietzche, DuBois and Eagleton, with new chapters on race, gender and the body. . Again, many phenomena from virtual reality to cosmopolitanism are discussed in Introduction to Cultural Theory.

Translated into many languages and taught as a textbook at universities in different countries for years, Introduction to Cultural Theory stands out as a reference source in many fields, especially political science, sociology and communication, with its interdisciplinary approach.

"An Introduction to Cultural Theory provides a lively, up-to-date and creative resource on thinkers in the field and their thoughts. The book's plain language and comparative perspective make it a valuable introductory book for scholars and students intent on understanding cultural theory."
-Robin Wagner-Pacifici, Swarthmore University-

"It is a difficult task to cover such a broad field as cultural sociology, but Introduction to Cultural Theory rises to the challenge. Theory books are generally not very exciting, let alone creative, texts, but this book covers the thinkers and movements in the field of cultural theory quite brilliantly. "I have used this book as a basic resource in my classes over the years, and considering that the field is constantly evolving, I can say that the second edition of the book is also a basic resource."
-Barry Schwartz, University of Georgia-
