Introduction to Cultural Studies: Topics, Concepts, Issues (Grundlagen der Anglistik und Amerikanistik (GrAA), Band 36) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Divided into seven themed chapters: signs, media, body, time, space, memory and identity, this book aims to provide a fresh approach to complex theoretical and historical questions. Sparking the reader s interest in literature from different genres and periods, this volume not only provides a useful introduction, it is an important study tool which supports the reader s own endeavours to get to grips with the relationship between reading and major key questions of culture.

This book by Aleida Assmann consistently surpasses a narrow definition of English Studies and opens up new, fresh perspectives that enable fascinating views on current questions. The theme-centred, coherent and well written Introduction to Cultural Studies can be considered outstanding in every respect: it will take a permanent place among the introductions to English Literature and Cultural Studies.
