Summary
Tony Bennett: Culture: the science of reformers
This book deals with the phenomenon and problems of cultural studies, one of the most important topics of contemporary social sciences and humanities. It represents a cross-section of Bennett's analytical preoccupations, a kind of advocacy of cultural policy as an indispensable component of the field of cultural studies. Cultural studies accept various theoretical orientations, from Gramsci through social history and critical theory of society to poststructuralist and postmodernist theories.
Comprised of three parts (Theory, History, Practice), the book brings together nine discussions dedicated to defining the field of cultural studies, historical aspects of power relations in culture and the role of cultural policy. Everything you need to know about the theoretical construction, genesis, research practice and findings of cultural studies is presented in it. The work is interesting for the scientific and professional public, and especially for students of social sciences and humanities.
