Performing Culture – John Tulloch (Paperback / Soft Cover)

Stories of Expertise and the Everyday

A presentation of the strengths and weaknesses of cultural studies, providing a blend of performance and risk theory. John Tulloch explores the need to break down the separation of”high”and”popular”culture studies, starting from the thesis that cultural studies has been over pre-occupied with popular culture. He: gives an account of the”fixations”with theory, method, policy, text, production, audience and the micro-politics of the everyday; revives and extends the idea that cultural meanings are performed, and argues that culture should be studied in terms of performances and performing; and makes extensive and empirically responsible use of case studies to illustrate his argument.
