Understanding Media Cultures by Nicholas Stevenson

The Second Edition of this bestselling text provides a comprehensive overview of the ways in which social theory has attempted to theorize the importance of the media in contemporary society.
Praise for the First Edition:

`Those interested in understanding contemporary debates over the media should find this book to be extremely valuable′ - Douglas Kellner, University of Texas at Austin

`I can′t think of a book in media studies that handles so well the diversity of perspectives and issues that Stevenson addressesWhether 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

Nick Stevenson is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Nottingham.
