From rap to rave, from designer menswear to Marie Claire, from rock to tourism, each essay tackles issues of ideology, bodies, power and gender in contemporary popular culture. A powerful and lively collection which forges a new way forward for cultural studies towards the year 2000.The aim of this book is to extend the political and the intellectual concerns of cultural studies to include the realm of social experience.
