Praise for the First Edition:
`I can't think of a book in media studies that handles so well the diversity
of perspectives and issues that Stevenson addresses. Whether reconstructing
Marxism or deconstructing postmodernism, tackling the pleasures of soap opera
or the repetitive structures of daily news presentation, Stevenson is always
clear and insightful' - Sociology
The Second Edition of this book provides a comprehensive overview of the ways
in which social theory has attempted to theorize the importance of the media
in contemporary society. Now fully revised to take account of the recent
theoretical developments associated with `new media' and `information
society', as well as the audience and the public sphere, Understanding Media
Cultures:
\- Critically examines the key social theories of mass communication
\- Highlights the work of individual theorists including Fiske, Williams,
Hall, Habermas, Jameson, McLuhan and Baudrillard.
\- Covers the important traditions of media analysis from feminism, cultural
studies and audience research.
\- Now includes a discussion of recent perspectives developed by Castells,
Haraway, Virilio and Schiller.
\- Provides a glossary of key terms in media and social theory.
Retaining all the strengths of the previous edition, Understanding Media
Cultures offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the field. It will
be essential reading for students of social theory, media and cultural
studies.
