Sinossi

If cultural theory is a minefield, this book is a route map through that
field. Prepared by an international team of scholars, the entries in
this book provide accessible introductions to the key cultural theorists
of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Over 200 of the leading
figures in the study of culture are listed, together with their key
concepts and main arguments, their major works and formative influences.
An extensive introduction sets the entries in the appropriate
intellectual and historical contexts, and each entry provides links to
other seminal figures in the study of culture. as well as a guide to
further reading. The dictionary covers a wide spectrum of theorists from
fields such as philosophy, economics, sociology, literary criticism,
linguistics, psychology and other disciplines from the humanities and
social sciences.
