The year's work in critical and cultural theory Book

Now combined in a new series with the The Year's Work in English Studies, The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory, edited by Kate McGowan, is an annual narrative bibliography which aims to provide a comprehensive collection of theoretical essays with bibliographies for work published in a given year.

Part Two: Culture and Communications, offers a general introductory survey of Cultural Studies, with subsequent chapters on: Popular Culture; Australian Popular Culture and Media Studies; Popular Music; Virtual Cultures; Film; Science, Technology and Culture; Cultural Policy; Law and Culture; Aboriginal Identity, Culture and Art; and Australian Pacific Culture and Theory.
