The subject of cultural studies has not yet been fully defined, since it
is a relatively new and still-evolving area, although various schools
of thought have sought to claim it as their own. This book is designed
as a pedagogic resource which offers a variety of answers to the
question it poses. It brings together some major writers in the
international field, and introduces the student to debates about the
evolution of cultural studies, discusses various different strands
within the subject, and considers future directions.
