Stop the search and pick up Arthur Berger's handy book of over 300 concise quotations from the vast literature in cultural theory. This compilation will give you justthe right snappy quote to help prepare that lecture, write that paper, fill that PowerPoint, or drop a few bon mots at a university reception. Organized by theoretical model (semiotic, Marxist, psychoanalytic, gender, postmodemist), Berget pulls together the most succinct, meaningful passages of the key theorists. of our time for those wanting to distill cultural theory to its essence."--BOOK JACKET.
