Key concepts in communication and cultural studies

Tim O'Sullivan, John Fiske, John Hartley

Key Concepts in Communication and Cultural Studies is a book to help you 'come to terms' with terms. Communication and Cultural Studies says new things in new ways, resulting not only in new words, concepts and theories, but also in the reworking of concepts and terms from a wide range of established disciplines. Key Concepts provides a practical and accessible guide to this exciting field.

This second edition firms a multi-disciplinary glossary of the concepts you are most likely to encounter in the study of communication and culture - from 'audience' to 'stardom', from 'ethnography' to 'orientalism'. The new edition includes: over sixty brand new additions to the original text; many entries revised and rewritten; and coverage of recent developments in communications and cultural studies.
