Dictionary of Cultural Theorists by Chris Rojek

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.

'The theorists described in this Dictionary enable us to make sense of our present moment, to understand its constituents, and to move forward into a better future' Professor Douglas Kellner, University of California 'An enjoyable introduction to over 200 cultural theorists...well-written and accessible...one of the better examples of this kind of enterprise.'
