If today students of social theory read Jurgen Habermas, Michel Foucault and Anthony giddens, then proper regard to the questino of culture means that they should also read Raymond williams, Stuart Hall and Slavoj Zizek. The Routledge Handbook of Social and Cultural Theory offers a concise, comprehensive overview of the convergences and divergences of social and cultural theory, and in so doing offers a novel agenda for social and cultural research in the twenty-first century |
