*/Representation/*, by Jenny Kidd (9781138020719), published November 2015

Examining one of the core themes of media and cultural studies,
/Representation/ introduces students to a range of methodologies for
analysing media texts.

Featuring a range of current examples and written in a lively style,
Jenny Kidd explores a number of the key questions that surround existing
and contemporary debates about representation such as: How do texts try
and position audiences in relation to meaning? Whose eyes are we
encouraged to see through? Who ‘owns’ and manages representations? Are
the ‘tools’ on currently on offer adequate?

*/Culture/*, by Ben Highmore (9780415672740), published October 2015

Rather than seeking to establish a definite and discrete terrain that
can be named as ‘culture’ Ben Highmore demonstrates how the cultural is
much better understood as an approach to phenomena rather than an
adequate description of the phenomena itself. The book provides a clear
and robust defense of the productivity of cultural analysis in a media
saturated world; offering a workable understanding of the category
‘culture’ and the ‘cultural’ as well as a clear sense of the 
practical
possibilities involved in cultural approaches to understanding the world.
