Graeme Turner

    2. September 1947

    Graeme Turner ist ein profilierter Gelehrter der Kulturwissenschaften, der sich kritisch mit zeitgenössischer Populärkultur und Medien auseinandersetzt. Er befasst sich mit den Komplexitäten von Film, Fernsehen und digitalen Medien und untersucht deren Einfluss auf nationale Identität und die Formung des öffentlichen Diskurses. Turner analysiert die sich entwickelnde Medienlandschaft in einer Post-Broadcast-Ära und untersucht, wie das Internet und neue Formate unseren Konsum und unsere Interpretation von kulturellen Inhalten verändern. Seine Erkenntnisse bieten eine entscheidende Perspektive, um die Dynamik des medialen Umfelds und seinen tiefgreifenden Einfluss auf die moderne Gesellschaft zu verstehen.

    The British cultural studies : an introduction
    • The new edition of this highly successful text provides a comprehensive introduction to the British tradition of Cultural Studies. The British school has been a major influence in the humanities and social sciences, radically redefining the study of popular culture, the media and everyday life. Graeme Turner offers an accessible overview to the central themes that have informed British Cultural Studies; language, semiotics, Marxism and ideology, individualism and subjectivity and discourse. In the first part of the book Turner presents a history of British cultural studies focusing on the work of such pioneers as Raymond Williams, Richard Hoggart, E. P. Thompson, Stuart Hall and the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies. In the second section he focuses on the central categories of cultural studies; text and textuality, audiences, everyday life and the concept of ideology. The second edition is fully revised to include issues in Cultural Studies and to update key debates and references. New sections include the influence of postmodernism, the politics of pleasure identified with the 'New Revisionism', Foucault and discourse, the politics of cultural studies, Gender and Race in the history of British Cultural Studies, and a fully updated and comprehensive bibliography.

      The British cultural studies : an introduction
    • This textbook explores the feature film as entertainment, as narrative and as cultural event. Graeme Turner provides an introduction to major theoretical issues in the history of film production and film studies, examining the function of film as a national cultural industry, and its place in our popular culture. This third edition includes: analysis of classic and popular contemporary films, now including "Scream 2", "The Wedding Singer" and "Lethal Weapon 4", with a selection of film stills; updated and expanded discussion of debates surrounding film narrative, feminist film theory, the film industry, including the New Hollywood, and audiences and spectatorship, including the rise of the multiplex. Arguments have been revised throughout to take into account late-1990s developments in film and cultural theory and changing cinematic trends.
