About the book

"The second edition of this book provides a systematic and accessible introduction to cultural theory, encapsulating a usually complex field in a concise and balanced overview." "Cultural Theory has been fully revised and expanded for this second edition. It provides a comprehensive tour of the major figures, themes, and debates in cultural theory, from Durkheim and Weber through to Foucault and Butler, and from charisma to consumption, but also introduces entirely new chapters on race and gender theory, and the body. Other new material includes treatments of thinkers such as Nietzsche, DuBois, and Eagleton, and considers important contemporary themes, including virtual reality and cosmopolitanism."--Jacket.
