Produktbeschreibung
"Culture and Power in Cultural Studies" reproduces close to three decades of John Storey's significant scholarship on culture, power, and the politics of signification. Storey addresses the struggle to define social reality and to give the world and its contents a kind of meaning that generates the desired effects of power. Chapters are informed by history and organized by theory, and essays have been revised and rewritten, each one following a different subject and method of argument. These works demonstrate how signification and the processes of meaning--or the way in which particular meanings acquire their authority and legitimacy--are fundamental factors in the establishment of hegemony.
Culture and Power in Cultural Studies is a collection of John Storey's best and most significant contributions to the field of cultural studies, spanning 25 years. Covering a variety of topics, all chapters share a common focus on culture and power and the politics of signification: the struggle to define social reality; to give the world and its contents meaning in particular ways to generate desired effects of power. Chapters are informed by history and organised by theory, and have been revised and rewritten to create an engaging volume. Twelve chapters expand and elaborate certain key ideas, themes and issues to be found in the author's cultural studies textbooks, providing an essential reference for those looking for further exemplification of these key areas of study. Each with a different subject matter and method of argument, the chapters demonstrate how signification and the struggle over meaning is fundamental to the processes of hegemony. The collection fixes its critical gaze on how particular meanings acquire their authority and legitimacy, knowing that dominant modes of making the world meaningful are a fundamental aspect of the processes of hegemony.
