In this brilliant work, Catherine Driscoll argues persuasively that we must view what we call cultural studies as a direct continuation of the innovations and concerns of modernism and the modernists. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In making her case, Driscoll provides a fresh take on arguments--some seemingly unresolvable--that pivot on modernism's desire for novelty. Defining modernity as a critical attitude rather than a time period, she describes the many things these ostensibly different fields of inquiry have in common and reveals why cultural studies must be viewed as a fundamentally modernist project. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Casting a wide net across the shared interests of modernism and cultural studies, including cinema, fiction, fashion, art, and popular music, Driscoll explores such themes as love and work, adolescence and everyday life, the significance of the everyday, the popular as a field of power, and the importance of representation to identity and experience in modernity.\u003cp\u003eCatherine Driscoll is chair of gender and cultural studies at the University of Sydney.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Driscoll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813041708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813041704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Catherine Driscoll","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202675753215,"sku":"9780813041704","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0382dbd1-29bb-4430-9fa3-6b3fc4f47d0f.jpg?v=1756833073","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modernist-cultural-studies-catherine-driscoll-9780813041704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
