Reputation Management

The Key to Successful Public Relations and Corporate Communication

John Doorley and Helio Fred Garcia, both at New York University, USA

2nd Edition

Reputation Management is the most important theme in public relations and corporate communication today. John Doorley and Helio Fred Garcia argue that most CEOs don’t actually pay much heed to reputation and this is to their peril. This book is a how-to guide for professionals and students in public relations and corporate communication, as well as for CEOs and other leaders. It rests on the premise that reputation can be measured, monitored, and managed. Organized by corporate communication units (media relations, employee communication, government relations, and investor relations, for example), the book provides a field-tested guide to corporate reputation problems such as leaked memos, unfair treatment by the press, and negative rumors – and it is this rare book that focuses on practical solutions. Each chapter is fleshed out with real-world experience by the authors and their contributors who come from a wide range of professional corporate communication backgrounds. This new edition features new and updated examples throughout, two new chapters on social media and public relations consulting, a new textbox feature in each chapter relating key communication theories to the practice of public relations and corporate communication, expanded coverage of global issues, and a new Companion Website at: www.routledge.com/textbooks/doorley, featuring lecture materials for instructors and extensive learning resources for students and professionals.

senses with product placements – if it’s good enough for James Bond in his Tom Ford suits and Omega watches then it’s good enough for you. Did you spot the Nike-clad Wildcats in High School Musical 3: Senior Year as they rehydrated themselves with Dasani? And Sex and the City, the movie and the American TV show, had almost as many featured brands as it had dialogue. Many brands are viewing placement as being increasingly important to their advertising strategies, and continuing relaxation of the UK regulation of such placement will see this increase to levels that have been commonplace for some years in the USA. Also, no doubt many of your evenings out are organized via email, social networking sites or texting – try counting the ads next time you are arranging to meet at 8.00pm! Little did the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks who made posters and sales messages from papyrus know what a monster they were creating. Evidence of advertising communications has been found among almost all the ancient civilizations. The ruins of Pompeii and ancient Arabia have concealed trade and political messages, whilst painted advertisements on walls and rocks in Asia, Africa and South America can, in some parts of India, be traced back to 4000 BC. When towns and cities became more densely populated in the Middle Ages, advertising communications were largely visual symbols (because most people were unable to read) – footwear for a cobbler, sacks of flour for a miller or horseshoes for a blacksmith. Tradesmen also used street callers or town criers to attract customers, an unrefined form of cold calling perhaps?

It is surprising there is any room left for a story line with the sheer volume of products strategically placed for advertising purposes in recent James Bond movies. Image courtesy of Danjag, LLC, United Artists Corporation, Columbia Pictures Industries Inc.

An Introduction to Visual Culture

Series: In Sight: Visual Culture

Nicholas Mirzoeff, New York University, USA

‘Nicholas Mirzoeff’s new synthesis of visual culture study is a tour-de-force comparative reading that begins where most comprehensive books in the field leave off, with globalization. If, as Mirzoeff tells us in his scintillating style, visuality has alienated vision from its users, then this lively and impassioned account is certain to put readers right at the heart of the problem with a spectrum of examples through which to work it through.’ – Lisa Cartwright, University of California at San Diego, USA An Introduction to Visual Culture provides a wideranging introduction to the now established interdisciplinary field of visual culture.

Feminism is one of the most important perspectives from which visual culture has been theorized and historicized over the past forty years. Challenging the notion of feminism as a unified discourse, this second edition of The Feminism and Visual Culture Reader assembles a wide array of writings that address art, film, architecture, popular culture, new media and other visual fields from a feminist perspective.

The Object Reader Edited by Fiona Candlin, University of London, UK and Raiford Guins, State University of New York, USA Series: In Sight: Visual Culture

This unique and groundbreaking collection frames the classic debates on objects and aims to generate new ones by reshaping the ways in which the object can be taught and studied, from a wide variety of disciplines and fields.

Mapping a global history and theory of visual culture, An Introduction to Visual Culture asks how and why visual media have become so central to everyday life. This new, completely updated second edition has been adapted to match the challenges of interpreting globalization since the publication of the first edition a decade ago. In this innovative extended edition, Nicholas Mirzoeff explores: • an extensive range of visual forms from painting, sculpture, and photography to television, cinema, and the internet • the centrality of ‘race’ and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and the body in shaping visual culture • the importance of images of natural disaster and conflict, such as Hurricane Katrina and the ongoing war in Iraq. 2009: 352pp Pb: 978-0-415-32759-6: £21.99 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415327596 For courses in: Visual Culture, Visual Studies

The Design Culture Reader

The Object Reader elucidates objects in many of their diverse roles, dynamics and capacities. The dedicated study of objects does not reside within a single discipline, so this collection comprises numerous fields. It includes original work in the form of twenty-five short ‘object lessons’ commissioned specifically for this project. These new and innovative studies will enable students to look upon their surroundings with trained eyes to search out their own ‘object studies’.

‘[An] attempt to push the concept of design into new territories... It will certainly challenge its readers to question any assumptions they may have about design culture and to reconstitute their understanding with a broader, richer frame of reference. If that is the purpose of a Reader, then Highmore’s will certainly be a resounding success.’ – Journal of Design History The Design Culture Reader brings together an international array of writers whose work is of central importance for thinking about design culture in the past, present and future. Essays from philosophers, media and cultural theorists, historians of design, anthropologists, cultural historians, artists and literary critics all demonstrate the enormous potential of design studies for understanding the modern world. Organised in thematic sections, The Design Culture Reader explores the social role of design by looking at the impact it has in a number of areas – especially globalisation, ecology, and the changing experiences of modern life. Particular essays focus on topics such as design and the senses, design and war and design and technology, while the editor’s introduction to the collection provides a compelling argument for situating design studies at the very forefront of contemporary thought.

The Media Studies Reader

Power Without Responsibility

Edited by Laurie Ouellette, University of Minnesota, USA

New

What Media Classes Really Want to Discuss A Student Guide Greg Smith, Georgia State University, USA

NEW in 2011

You probably already have a clear idea of what a ‘discussion guide for students’ is: a series of not-very-interesting questions at the end of a textbook chapter. Instead of triggering thought-provoking class discussion, all too often these guides are timeconsuming and ineffective. This is not that kind of discussion guide.

What Media Classes Really Want to Discuss focuses on topics that introductory textbooks generally ignore, although they are prominent in students’ minds. Using approachable prose, this book will give students a more precise critical language to discuss ‘common sense’ phenomena about media. The book acknowledges that students begin introductory film and television courses thinking they already know a great deal about the subject. What Media Classes Really Want to Discuss provides students with a solid starting point for discussing their assumptions critically and encourages the reader to argue with the book, furthering the ‘discussion’ on media in everyday life and in the classroom. Selected Contents: Preface: A Note to the Student About Why This Book Is Different 1. ‘It’s Just a Movie:’ Why You Should Analyze Film and Television Part One: Discussing How Media Work 2. What Is Realism, Really? 3. How Do We Identify With Characters? 4. Genre Schmenre Part Two: Discussing Media and Society. 5. ‘Studies Show:’ How To Understand Media Violence/Effects Research 6. Role Models and Stereotypes: An Introduction to the ‘Other’ Part Three: Discussing Media’s Future Now 7. What Difference Does a Medium Make? 8. What Is Interactivity?

The Alternative Media Handbook Kate Coyer, Central European University, Budapest Tony Dowmunt, Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK and Alan Fountain, Middlesex University, UK Series: Media Practice This book offers an overview of global alternative media activity, before moving on to provide information about alternative media production and how to get involved in it.

The Media Studies Reader is a broad and accessible anthology that addresses the key topics, debates and theoretical perspectives associated with the interdisciplinary field of media studies. Emphasizing critical and cultural approaches, the collection provides an up-to-date survey of the major sub-areas of Media Studies including: 1) media and power, 2) media technologies, 3) media institutions, 4) advertising and commercialism, 5) signification and representation, 6) identity and self-fashioning, 7) audiences and social practices and 8) media and citizenship.

Press, Broadcasting and the Internet in Britain James Curran, Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK and Jean Seaton, University of Westminster, UK

Power Without Responsibility is a classic introduction to the history, sociology, theory and politics of the media in Britain. Hailed by the Times Higher as the ‘seminal media text’, and translated into Arabic, Chinese and other foreign languages, it is an essential guide for media students and critical media consumers alike.

Critical introductions for each section and headnotes for each reading are used to help students place the material in context and highlight key issues, and longer pieces are selectively edited for conciseness and accessibility. The Media Studies Reader provides an entry point into the critical media studies tradition – as well as a timely account of new theoretical moves and technological developments. A map of a rapidly growing – and changing – field, it will be an invaluable resource to students as well as established scholars.

The new edition has been substantially revised to bring it right up-to-date with developments in the media industry, new media technologies and changes in the political and academic debates surrounding the media. In this new edition, the authors consider:

Media, Gender and Identity

Sound Production

The Sound Handbook

An Introduction

A Guide to Using Audio within Media Production

Tim Crook, Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK

David Gauntlett, University of Westminster, UK

Andrew Lansley, University of Gloucestershire, UK

Series: Media Practice

Sound Production introduces students to applying the processes of audio techniques within the sphere of media production. Presuming no prior technical knowledge, Andrew Lansley focuses on universal techniques that will work across all contemporary software and be of use to those needing to work with sound for radio, TV, film, videogames and websites.

The Sound Handbook is an essential practice and theory guide that sets out the best methods in producing sound for multimedia, and the academic theories that underpin the history and analysis of sound expression.

Popular media present a vast array of stories about women and men. What impact do these images and ideas have on people’s identities?

The second edition of Media, Gender and Identity is a highly readable introduction to the relationship between media and gender identities today. Fully revised and updated, including new case studies and a new chapter, it considers a wide range of research and provides new ways for thinking about the media’s influence on gender and sexuality. David Gauntlett discusses movies such as Knocked Up and Spiderman 3, men’s and women’s magazines, TV shows, self-help books, YouTube videos, and more, to show how the media play a role in the shaping of individual self-identities.

The format of the text follows a simple structure broken down into three main parts: • Part 1: Theory and Technical Information – including a brief history of sound, basic audio theory, equipment and software • Part 2: Techniques and Processes – including recording, digitising and organising, editing, equalisation, dynamic processes, FX processes, mixing, fixing and mastering

The Sound Handbook teaches how qualitative sound can be produced for drama, documentary and journalism in radio, theatrical stage production, television and film, online, animation, videogames and sound art installation. At the same time the theoretical debates that constitute textual and contextual academic study of sound in these media platforms are explored. The Sound Handbook is unique in endeavouring to identify the practical and theoretical common ground in the production and expression of sound in what have been seen previously as discrete media practice and academic disciplines.

Influences, Impacts, and Innovations

The Gender and Media Reader Edited by Mary Celeste Kearney, University of Texas, USA The Gender and Media Reader is the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary anthology of the best known and most influential writings in gender and media studies. It is an essential text for those interested in the development of gender and media studies, its primary topics, debates, and theoretical approaches. In contrast to most other readers edited by feminist media scholars, The Gender and Media Reader is not sex-specific; it examines media culture in relation to males and masculinity as well as females and femininity, while also paying close attention to the many other identities that intersect with gender, particularly race and sexuality. Moreover, unlike many Readers edited by media scholars, The Gender and Media Reader is not medium specific; it explores gender through a variety of increasingly convergent media forms, including film, music, radio, television, magazines, advertising, music videos, video games, and the internet. The primary objective of The Gender and Media Reader is to expand readers’ knowledge of how gender operates within media culture through their engagement with classic, foundational writings upon which contemporary studies in this area are based. Taking a multiperspectival approach that considers gender broadly and examines media texts alongside their production and consumption, The Gender and Media Reader will enable readers’ critical thinking about how gender is constructed, contested, and subverted in different sites within media culture. In addition to collecting key works in the field, the anthology will include introductions to each section that facilitate readers’ understanding of the development of gender and media studies by contextualizing the various topics, debates, and theoretical approaches that have shaped it, as well as by highlighting current trends.

The second edition of this innovative textbook introduces students to the ways that society shapes our many forms of entertainment and in turn, how entertainment shapes society. Entertainment and Society examines a broad range of types of entertainment that we enjoy in our daily lives – covering new areas like sports, video games, gambling, theme parks, travel, and shopping, as well as traditional entertainment media such as film, television, and print. A primary emphasis is placed on the impact of technological and cultural convergence on innovation and the influence of contemporary entertainment. The authors begin with a general overview of the study of entertainment, introducing readers to various ways of understanding leisure and play, and then go on to trace a brief history of the development of entertainment from its live forms through mediated technology. Subsequent chapters review a broad range of theories and research and provide focused discussions of the relationship between entertainment and key societal factors including economics and commerce, culture, law, politics, ethics, advocacy and technology. The authors conclude by highlighting innovations and emerging trends in live and mediated entertainment and exploring their implications for the future. The new edition features updated examples and pedagogical features throughout including text boxes, case studies, student activities, questions for discussion, and suggestions for further reading.

Tom Bivins, University of Oregon, USA

Controversies in Media Ethics offers students, instructors and professionals multiple perspectives on media ethics issues presenting vast ‘gray areas’ and few, if any, easy answers. This third edition includes a wide range of subjects, and demonstrates a willingness to tackle the problems raised by new technologies, new media, new politics and new economics. T he core of the text is formed by fourteen chapters, each of which deals with a particular problem or likelihood of ethical dilemma, presented as different points of view on the topic in question, as argued by two or more contributing authors. The fifteenth chapter is a collection of ‘mini-chapters,’ allowing students to discern first-hand how to deal with ethical problems.

This edition has been thoroughly updated to provide: • discussions of issues reflecting the breadth and depth of the media spectrum • numerous real-world examples • broad discussion of confidentiality and other timely topics • a Companion Website at: www.routledge.com/textbooks/gordon supplies additional resources for both students and instructors.

Mixed Media, second edition, introduces readers to the tools necessary for making moral and ethical decisions regarding the use of mass media. The chapters in this text offer insights on: • similarities and differences among the ethical dilemmas faced by the mass media • common ground on which to evaluate media behavior • media obligations • professional ethics • ethical theory and its application to the modern media • considerations of truth and harm.

New to the second edition is a focus on the three mass media industries most pervasive in today’s society: the news media (journalism), advertising, and public relations, with individual chapters giving equal coverage to each. It includes an increased emphasis on ‘new media’ and how ethics affect such concepts as social media, word-of-mouth marketing, and citizen journalism. Readers will come away with a greater appreciation for moral philosophy and theory as a foundation for decision making, and will develop a personal ‘yardstick’ by which to measure their decisions. 2009: 328pp Pb: 978-0-8058-6321-5: £24.99 eBook: 978-0-203-87488-2 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780805863215 For courses in: Media Ethics

Race and News Critical Perspectives Christopher P. Campbell, The University of Southern Mississippi, USA, Rockell A. Brown, Texas Southern University, USA, Cheryl D. Jenkins and Kim LeDuff, both at University of Southern Mississippi, USA Race and News: Critical Perspectives offers essays and case studies that examine how issues related to race and racism are represented in contemporary news coverage in the United States.

This book will be ideal for courses on race and news media, and it will also be valuable to professional journalists and journalism students who seek to improve the diversity and sensitivity of their journalistic practice.

Journalism Studies A Critical Introduction Andrew Calcutt, University of East London, UK and Philip Hammond, London Southbank University, UK

Journalism Studies is a polemical textbook that rethinks the field of journalism studies for the contemporary era. It is the politics, philosophy and economics of journalism, presented as a logical reconstruction of its historical development. This book offers a critical reassessment of conventional themes in the academic analysis of journalism, and sets out a positive proposal for what we should be studying. Organized around three central themes – ownership, objectivity and the public – Journalism Studies addresses the contexts in which journalism is produced, practised and disseminated. It outlines key issues and debates, reviewing established lines of critique in relation to the state of contemporary journalism, then offering alternative ways of approaching these issues, seeking to reconceptualise them in order to suggest an agenda for change and development in both journalism studies and journalism itself. This is a concise and accessible introduction to contemporary journalism studies, and will be highly useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students on a range of Journalism, Media and Communications courses. Selected Contents: Acknowledgements Introduction: Journalism in Question Part 1: Ownership Chapter 1. Ownership and the News Industry Chapter 2. Media and Mediating Activity Part 2: Objectivity Chapter 3. The Rise and Fall of Objectivity Chapter 4. The Future of Objectivity Part 3: The Public Chapter 5.

Writing for Digital Media

2nd Edition

Making Hard Choices in Journalism Ethics

Brian Carroll, Berry College, USA

Writing for Digital Media teaches students how to write effectively for online audiences – whether they are crafting a story for the website of a daily newspaper or a personal blog. The lessons and exercises in each chapter help students build a solid understanding of the ways that the internet has introduced new opportunities for dynamic storytelling as digital media have blurred roles of media producer, consumer, publisher and reader. Using the tools and strategies discussed in this book, students are able to use their insights into new media audiences to produce better content for digital formats and environments. Fundamentally, this book is about good writing – clear, precise, accurate, filled with energy and voice, and aimed directly at an audience. Writing for Digital Media also addresses all of the graphical, multimedia, hypertextual and interactive elements that come into play when writing for digital platforms. Learning how to achieve balance and a careful, deliberate blend of these elements is the other primary goal of this text. Writing for Digital Media teaches students not only how to create content as writers, but also how to think critically as a site manager or content developer might about issues such as graphic design, site architecture, and editorial consistency. By teaching these new skill sets alongside writing fundamentals, this book transforms students from writers who are simply able to post their stories online into engaging multimedia, digital storytellers.

Show Me the Money Writing Business and Economics Stories for Mass Communication Chris Roush, University of North Carolina, USA Series: Routledge Communication Series

The Book History Reader Edited by David Finkelstein, Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, UK and Alistair McCleery, Napier University, UK Including more extracts than before and a brand new section on the future of the book in the digital age, this second edition has been updated and expanded to create the essential collection of writings examining different aspects of the history of books and print culture.

David E. Boeyink, Indiana University, USA and Sandra L. Borden, Western Michigan University, USA

Show Me the Money is the definitive business journalism textbook that offers hands-on advice and examples on doing the job of a business journalist. Author Chris Roush draws on his experience as a business journalist and educator to explain how to cover businesses, industries and the economy, as well as where to find sources of information for stories. He demonstrates clearly how reporters take financial information and turn it into relevant facts that explain a topic to readers.

This book teaches students how to make the difficult ethical decisions that journalists routinely face. By taking a case-based approach, the authors argue that the best way to make an ethical decision is to look closely at a particular situation, rather than looking first to an abstract set of ethical theories or principles. This book goes beyond the traditional approaches of many other journalism textbooks by using cases as the starting point for building ethical practices. Casuistry, the technical name of such a method, develops provisional guidelines from the bottom up by reasoning analogically from an ‘easy’ ethical case (the ‘paradigm’) to ‘harder’ ethical cases. Thoroughly grounded in actual experience, this method admits more nuanced judgments than most theoretical approaches.

This definitive business journalism text:

‘A surprising book. I’m surprised that it hasn’t been done before, and I’d also be surprised if anyone did it better.’ – Roger Cook, The Cook Report, Central Television ‘A book that no aspiring student of the subject can do without.’ – Jon Snow, Channel 4 News

Investigative journalism has helped bring down governments, imprison politicians, trigger legislation, reveal miscarriages of justice and shame corporations. Even today, when much of the media colludes with power and when viciousness and sensationalism are staples of formerly high-minded media, investigative journalists can stand up for the powerless, the exploited, the truth. Investigative Journalism provides an unrivalled introduction to this vital part of our social life: its origins, the men and women who established its norms and its achievements in the last decades. Two chapters describe the relationships with the law, bringing us up-to-date, and others deal with the professional techniques, the sociology and the teaching of investigative journalism. A further new chapter examines the influence of the blogosphere on investigative journalism. 2008: 416pp Pb: 978-0-415-44144-5: £19.99 eBook: 978-0-203-89567-2 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415441445 For courses in: Investigative Journalism

Movie History A Survey

Douglas Gomery, University of East London, UK and Clara Pafort-Overduin, Utrecht University, the Netherlands How can we understand the history of film? Historical facts don’t answer the basic questions of film history. History, as this fascinating book shows, is more than the simple accumulation of film titles, facts and figures. This is a survey of over 100 years of cinema history, from its beginnings in 1895, to its current state in the twenty-first century. An accessible, introductory text, Movie History: A Survey looks at not only the major films, filmmakers, and cinema institutions throughout the years, but also extends to the production, distribution, exhibition, technology and reception of films. The textbook is divided chronologically into four sections, using the timeline of technological changes: Section One looks at the era of silent movies from 1895 to 1927; Section Two starts with the coming of sound and covers 1928 until 1950; Section Three runs from 1951 to 1975 and deals with the coming and development of television; and Section Four focuses on the coming of home video and the transition to digital, from 1975 to 2010. Written by two highly respected film scholars and experienced teachers, Movie History is the ideal textbook for students studying film history.

Film Theory An Introduction Through the Senses Thomas Elsaesser, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Malte Hagener, University of Luneburg, Germany What is the relationship between cinema and spectator? That is the central question for film theory, and renowned film scholars Thomas Elsaesser and Malte Hagener use this question to guide students through all of the major film theories – from the classical period to today – in this insightful, engaging book. Every kind of cinema (and film theory) imagines an ideal spectator, and then imagines a certain relationship between the mind and body of that spectator and the screen. Using seven distinctive configurations of spectator and screen that move progressively from ‘exterior’ to ‘interior’ relationships, the authors retrace the most important stages of film theory from 1945 to the present, from neo-realist and modernist theories to psychoanalytic, ‘apparatus’, phenomenological and cognitivist theories. 2009: 232pp Pb: 978-0-415-80101-0: £16.99 eBook: 978-0-203-87687-9

The Film Theory Reader brings together a range of key theoretical texts, organized thematically to emphasise the development of specific critical concepts and theoretical models in the field of film theory.

Each section presents well-known or significant texts, which have introduced a particularly influential concept, followed by texts that have developed or extended the concept, or that have offered explicit critiques or arguments against the original model. The collection thus represents and reproduces the debates and arguments that have shaped the theoretical landscape of film studies, guiding the reader through the complex terrain of theoretical debate, and offering suggestions for further reading and research. An introduction from the editor contextualises the essays and provides a logical guide to the book, clarifying the links between articles and tracing the development of key arguments. The notes to the introduction include extensive references, for readers to explore and further their own studies, as they are guided through the history of debate in film theory.

Television Studies 4 th Edition • New in 2011

Television: Critical Methods and Applications Jeremy G. Butler, University of Alabama, USA Television is developed for the television criticism course in media studies and communication studies curricula, explaining how television programs and commercials are made, and how they function as producers of meaning. Author Jeremy Butler demonstrates the ways in which cinematography and videography, acting, lighting, set design, editing, and sound combine to produce meanings that viewers take away from their television experience. This popular text teaches students to read between the lines, encouraging them to incorporate critical thinking into their own television viewing. Television provides essential critical and historical context, explaining how various critical methods have been applied to the medium, such as genre study, ideological criticism, and cultural studies. Hundreds of illustrations from familiar television programs introduce the reader to the varied ways in which television goes about telling stories, presenting news, and selling products.

Highlights of this fourth edition include: • new organization to reflect the current approach to teaching television • discussions of technology integrated throughout • a wide variety of examples, including recent television shows • expanded discussion of cultural issues • a Companion Website with links to video websites to support examples in the text, color frame grabs, and materials for instructors.

The contributors are some of the most renowned scholars working on video games today including Henry Jenkins, Jesper Juul, Eric Zimmerman, and Mia Consalvo.

The volume concludes with an appendix of nearly forty ideas and concepts from a variety of theories and disciplines that have been usefully and insightfully applied to the study of video games.

That’s the Joint! The Hip-Hop Studies Reader Edited by Murray Forman, Northeastern University, USA and Mark Anthony Neal, Duke University, USA ‘Before That’s the Joint! I spent countless hours making photo-copies of essays and articles on hip-hop for my students. When That’s the Joint! dropped it changed everything. It took hip-hop studies to the next logical level and, hopefully, with the second edition Forman and Neal will take hip-hop studies to an even higher level. That’s the Joint!, indeed, it is the sure shot!’ – Reiland Rabaka, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA This newly expanded and revised second edition of That’s the Joint! brings together the most important and up-to-date hip-hop scholarship in one comprehensive volume. Presented thematically, the selections address the history of hip-hop, identity politics of the ‘hip-hop nation,’ debates of ‘street authenticity,’ gender, revolutionary politics, aesthetics, technologies of production, hip-hop as a cultural industry, and much more. The new edition includes expanded coverage of gender and racial diversity in hip-hop, and takes a look at hip-hop’s role in politics, including the 2008 presidential election of Barack Obama.

Emotions: A Cultural Studies Reader

The Routledge Critical and Cultural Theory Reader

Edited by Jennifer Harding, London Metropolitan University, UK and E. Deidre Pribram, Molloy College, USA

Edited by Neil Badmington and Julia Thomas, both at University of Cardiff, UK

Emotions: A Cultural Studies Reader brings together the best examples of recent and cutting-edge work on emotions in cultural studies and related disciplines. The book differentiates between theoretical traditions and ways of understanding emotion in relation to culture, subjectivity and power, thus mapping a new academic territory and providing a succinct overview of cultural studies as well as studies of emotion.

Critical and cultural theory invites a rethinking of some of our most basic assumptions about who we are, how we behave, and how we interpret the world around us.

Emotions: A Cultural Studies Reader provides students with an essential overview of contemporary academic debate within the humanities and social sciences on the place of emotions in culture, as part of everyday individual, cultural, and political life.

The Routledge Critical and Cultural Theory Reader brings together twenty-nine key pieces from the last century and a half that have shaped the field. Topics include: subjectivity, language, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, the body, the human, class, culture, everyday life, literature, psychoanalysis, technology, power, and visuality. The choice of texts, together with the editors’ introduction and glossary, will allow newcomers to begin from first principles, while the use of unabridged readings will also make the volume suitable for those undertaking more specialized work.
