Book Description
The original cultural studies reader, this essay collection is widely used for its provocative readings and images on relevant cultural issues and for its outstanding pedagogy. Written by two respected composition theorists, Reading Culture truly makes use of cultural studies methods from analyzing texts and historical documents, to conducting fieldwork and mini ethnographies. The first cultural studies reader to also address visual literacy, the text includes over 100 images of posters, advertisements, photos, and art to accompany and illustrate the readings or as "Visual Essays" and "Visual Culture" segments that stand on their own. The fifth edition enhances that coverage with an appealing new four color format and full color art throughout the text. Helping students gain the necessary critical thinking skills to observe and analyze cultural phenomena, the opening chapter introduces reading and writing strategies and features a case study-new to this edition-that shows students how to "read" culture. Always up to date, this edition represents a significant revision with several new readings, themes, and visual images.
