Description
Cultural Studies by Fred Inglis provides a critical and historical account of the field, stripping away philosophical incoherence to reveal its common focus. The book charts the development of Cultural Studies from its origins in Cambridge, England, and Frankfurt, Germany, through its encounter with Marxism, French structuralism, and linguistic philosophy, to contemporary anthropology. It explores the study of value as a defining content of Cultural Studies, examining the work of key figures such as F.R. Leavis, Raymond Williams, Stuart Hall, Theodore Adorno, Antonio Gramsci, and Clifford Geertz. This book offers a sympathetic yet non-partisan introduction to Cultural Studies, balancing Grand Theory with local knowledge, and providing a framework for understanding its theories and methods. It concludes with a chapter on "How to do Cultural Studies", making it a valuable resource for students and teachers alike.
