Ebook: Key concepts in communication and cultural studies

London, New York: Routledge, 1994. — 367 p.The concepts included in the Encyclopedia have been borrowed from a variety of established academic disciplines and discourses. The origin of the terms that have gained currency in the field are explained. Many terms have been borrowed directly from established disciplines, like sociology, psychology, linguistics, literary theory, etc., though the way they are taken up in communication and cultural studies may have reshaped them somewhat, so they need special interpretation. Other terms are more foreign still, coming from work originally published in French, Russian, German or Italian, or from work that is still ‘foreign’ to many academic disciplines. Each entry provides a list of further reading, which makes the book useful for student researchers.
