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. 410 0$aCambridge companions to culture. 606 $aPopular culture$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xCivilization 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory 676 $a941.082 702 $aHiggins$b Michael$f1967- 702 $aSmith$b Clarissa 702 $aStorey$b John$f1950- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996202480503316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to modern British culture$92493206 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis 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
