Cultural Studies and Cultural Value
John Frow / Paperback / Published 1995
Our Price: $18.95
Card catalog description
Through detailed readings of the work of Pierre Bourdieu, Michel de Certeau, Stuart
Hall, and Ernesto Laclau, John Frow argues that the field of culture now has multiple
centres and multiple domains of value and that these are irreducible to a single scale.
Intellectuals play the crucial role in the mediation of the cultural field, and their
possession of cultural capital endows them with specific class interests which are
distinct from those of the classes or groups for whom they claim to speak. Frow seeks a
revitalized and 'poststructuralist' account of social class, a basis from which cultural
studies can effect a much-needed reorientation.

(The Contemporary Social Issues Series)
William G. Staples / Hardcover / Published 1997
Our Price: $35.00
The author, William G. Staples (Staples@Ukans.edu), 03/03/97:
I argue that we need to pay closer attention to the relatively "small"
procedures and practices--the "Tiny Brothers"--that are increasingly present in
our daily lives. These techniques exist in the shadow of large institutions like prisons,
they are not ushered in with dramatic displays of state power, nor do they appear as
significant challenges to constitutional democracy...
