Description

Dick Hebdige explores how objects and images are created and consumed in various forms, from fashion and documentary photographs to Biff cartoons and promotional music videos. He examines their cultural significance and charts their impact on contemporary popular tastes. He considers the diverse range of images and objects that shape our culture, including 1950s streamlined cars, Italian motor scooters, and 1980s 'style manuals'. By assessing their broad cultural significance, Hebdige sheds light on how these images are used to communicate ideas and values. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the ways in which objects and images reflect and influence our culture.
