This book covers a wide array of topics regarding the praxis of doing cultural studies. Thus this is work is not only introductory to the basic concepts of cultural studies and its thinking. Its value besides other introduction also lies in very practical approach towards the hands-on problems that young reserachers face e.g. finding a topic, isolation a research question, negotiation oneself within the field an so on. I recommend this book to all my students dealing with questions regarding the study of culture, society or gender.
An excellent book, highly recommended
This book is outstanding- I have found students (at MA & beginning PhD level) are inspired by its creative approach and helped by guidelines on structure; not many books do both!
This useful handbook will be listed as "highly recommended" in my research seminar on "Representing Europe". For this interdisciplinary research seminar, students with diverse disciplinary backgrounds enroll. Despite their enthusiasm for the course, some lack theoretical and methodological know-how about conducting "cultural analysis". For them I have recommended to work through this handbook.
