The Cultural industries / David Hesmondhalgh
Publication details: London : Sage, 2002Description: 290 pSummary: What are the 'cultural industries'? What role do they play in contemporary society? How are they changing? Combining a political economy approach with the best aspects of cultural studies, sociology, communication studies and social theory this book provides an overview of the key debates surrounding the cultural industries. The Cultural Industries • Considers both the entertainment and the information sectors • Combines analysis of the contemporary scene with a long-range historical perspective • Uses a range of examples from North America, the United Kingdom, Europe and beyond. Hesmondhalgh's clearly written, thoroughly argued overview of political-economic, organizational, technological and cultural change represents an important intervention in research on cultural production, but at the same time provides students with an accessible, indispensable introduction to the area.
