New Cultural Studies - Adventures in Theory (Hardcover, Annotated edition)

A new generation is turning to theory to think through some of the most crucial issues in contemporary culture. "New Cultural Studies" provides for the first time an authoritative and accessible guide to the ideas of this generation, explaining just why theory continues to be central to the past, present, and future of cultural studies. It follows prominent thinkers and theorists, such as Agamben, Badiou, Deleuze, Derrida, Kittler, Laclau, Levinas, and Zizek, as they map out theories of anti-capitalism, ethics, the post-humanities, post-Marxism, and new media technologies.
