The Cultural Industries by David Hesmondhalgh

The Cultural Industries by David Hesmondhalgh

What are the 'cultural industries'? What role do they play in contemporary society? How are they changing? This book combines a political economy approach with the best aspects of cultural studies, sociology, communication studies and social theory to provide an overview of the key debates surrounding cultural production.

The first edition of The Cultural Industries moved us irrevocably past the tired debates between political economy and cultural studies approachesThis second edition takes on new and vital targets, for example claims that the Internet is replacing television in everyday media consumption.... In the process, Hesmondhalgh provides us with an essential toolkit for making critical sense of the digital media age, and our places within it

This book sets a valuable standard for communication studies. Hesmondhalgh integrates cultural research with political economy, organizational sociology with public communication policy studies, global with comparative analysis, and intellectual property law with technology changes. I′ve successfully taught graduate and undergraduate courses in the USA and France using the first edition, and this one is better still
