Presents an introduction to cultural studies that guides the reader through the field's central foundations and its freshest ideas. This book grounds the reader in the foundations of cultural studies and cultural theory: language and semiology, ideology and power, mass and popular culture.

"Too often cultural studies discourse seems cut off from wider developments in social theory. As a sociologist with a strong cultural studies sensibility, David Oswell is ideally placed to put this right. Through a series of well-judged and historically nuanced readings of cultural, social theory and critical philosophy, this book provides just the bridge between cultural studies and wider debates that we need"
