These distinctive tensions are expressed in a range of cultural arenas, such as art, sport, journalism, fashion, education, and race. This Companion addresses these and other major aspects of British culture, and offers a sophisticated understanding of what it means to study and think about the diverse cultural landscapes of contemporary Britain. Each contributor looks at the language through which culture is formed and expressed, the political and institutional trends that shape culture, and at the role of culture in daily life. This interesting and informative account of modern British culture embraces controversy and debate, and never loses sight of the fact that Britain and Britishness must always be understood in relation to the increasingly international context of globalisation.Cambridge companions to culture.Popular cultureGreat BritainHistory20th centuryGreat BritainIntellectual life20th centuryGreat BritainSocial life and customs20th centuryGreat BritainSocial conditions20th centuryGreat BritainCivilizationPopular cultureHistory941.082Higgins Michael1967-Smith ClarissaStorey John1950-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996202480503316The Cambridge companion to modern British culture2493206UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
