Sinossi
Quando una società diventa più ricca, perde altri valori? Le competenze che istruzione e alfabetizzazione hanno dato a milioni di persone vengono sprecate nel consumo di cultura pop? I media ci costringono a un mondo di superficialità e materialità, oppure possono essere una forza per il bene? Quando Richard Hoggart pose queste domande nel suo libro del 1957 The Uses of Literacy, la Gran Bretagna stava attraversando un enorme cambiamento sociale, eppure la sua opera fondamentale non ha perso nulla della sua pertinenza e potenza oggi. Hoggart offre un'affascinante intuizione sui valori affiatati delle comunità operaie in via di scomparsa dell'Inghilterra settentrionale e li intreccia con le sue opinioni sull'arrivo di una nuova cultura omogenea di ''massa'' influenzata dagli Stati Uniti. Il suo bestseller che ha fatto notizia ha aperto un'area completamente nuova di studio culturale e rimane una lettura essenziale, sia come documento storico, sia come commento su classe, povertà e media.

The Uses of Literacy (Paperback)
Da: Grand Eagle Retail, Mason, OH, U.S.A.
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 'A vivid inside view of working-class culture and one of the most influential books of the postwar era' ObserverWhen a society becomes more affluent, does it lose other values? Are the skills that education and literacy gave millions wasted on consuming pop culture? Do the media coerce us into a world of the superficial and the material - or can they be a force for good?When Richard Hoggart asked these questions in his 1957 book The Uses of Literacy Britain was undergoing huge social change, yet his landmark work has lost none of its pertinence and power today. Hoggart gives a fascinating insight into the close-knit values of Northern England's vanishing working-class communities, and weaves this together with his views on the arrival of a new, homogenous 'mass' US-influenced culture. His headline-grabbing bestseller opened up a whole new area of cultural study and remains essential reading, both as a historical document, and as a commentary on class, poverty and the media. When a society becomes more affluent, does it lose other values? Are the skills that education and literacy gave millions wasted on consuming pop culture? Do the media coerce us into a world of the superficial and the material - or can they be a force for good? This book asks these questions.
