Preview A Companion to Cultural Studies
A Companion to Cultural Studies Blackwell Companions in Cultural Studies Advisory editor: David The0 Goldberg, University of Calzfornia, Irvine This series aims to provide theoretically ambitious but accessible volumes devoted to the major fields and subfields within cultural studies, whether as single disciplines (film studies) inspired and reconfigured by interventionist cultural studies approaches, or from broad interdisciplinary and multidisciplin- ary perspectives (gender studies, race and ethnic studies, postcolonial studies). Each volume sets out to ground and orientate the student through a broad range of specially commissioned articles, and also to provide the more experienced scholar and teacher with a convenient and comprehensive overview of the latest trends and critical directions. An overarching Companion to Cultural Studies will map the territory as a whole. 1. A Companion to Film Theory Edited by lroby Miller and Robert Stam 2.
