Cultural Studies and the Working Class: subject to change - edizione con copertina flessibile

In the formative years of British cultural studies, theorists such as Raymond Williams and Richard Hoggart focused their work on the question of class. As theorists in the intervening years have moved away from class as a mode of inquiry, this volume challenges contemporary scholars to revisit it. These essays examine the representation of working-class life in cinema, sports, romance magazines, and club culture. From working-class identity to academia, from homophobic violence to true crime tales, Cultural Studies and the Working Class proposes a viable future for the discipline of cultural theory: one that renews its original radical intention to integrate the analysis of class into that of race, sexuality, and gender.
