The Cultural Industries _POPULAR

Author: David Hesmondhalgh
ISBN: 0761954538
Description: What are the "cultural industries"? What role do they play in contemporary society? How are they changing?
The Cultural Industries combines a political economy approach with the best aspects of cultural studies, sociology, communication studies and social theory to provide an overview of the key debates surrounding cultural production.
The book:

  • Considers both the entertainment and the information sectors
  • Combines analysis of the contemporary scene with a long-range historical perspective
  • Draws on an range of examples from North America, the UK, Europe and elsewhere
    Hesmondhalgh's clearly written, thoroughly argued overview of political-economic, organizational, technological and cultural change represents an important intervention in research on cultural production, but at the same time provides students with an accessible, indispensable introduction to the area.
