RICHARD HOGGART - Uses of Literacy. Aspects of Working-Class Life

Title: Uses of Literacy. Aspects of Working-Class Life
Description: Penguin Books, 2009. Paperback. Pp: 370. This pioneering work examines changes in the life and values of the English working class in response to mass media. First published in 1957, it mapped out a new methodology in cultural studies based around interdisciplinarity and a concern with how texts-in this case, mass publications-are stitched into the patterns of lived experience. Mixing personal memoir with social history and cultural critique, The Uses of Literacy anticipates recent interest in modes of cultural analysis that refuse to hide the author behind the mask of objective social scientific technique. In its method and in its rich accumulation of the detail of working-class life, this volume remains useful and absorbing. ISBN: 9780141191584. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
