{"product_id":"the-popular-arts-stuart-hall-9780822349082","title":"The Popular Arts","description":"When it first appeared in 1964, Stuart Hall and Paddy Whannel's \u003ci\u003eThe Popular Arts\u003c\/i\u003e opened up an almost unprecedented field of analysis and inquiry into contemporary popular culture. Counter to the prevailing views of the time, Hall and Whannel recognized popular culture's social importance and considered it worthy of serious study. In their analysis of everything from Westerns and the novels of Mickey Spillane, Ian Fleming, and Raymond Chandler to jazz, advertising, and the television industry, they were guided by the belief that studying popular culture demanded an ethical evaluation of the text and full attention to its properties. In so doing, they raised questions about the relation of culture to society and the politics of taste and judgment in ways that continue to shape cultural studies. Long out of print, this landmark text highlights the development of Hall's theoretical and methodological approach while adding a greater understanding of his work. This edition also includes a new introduction by Richard Dyer, who contextualizes \u003ci\u003eThe Popular Arts\u003c\/i\u003e within the history of cultural studies and outlines its impact and enduring legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Hall, Paddy Whannel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822349086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822349082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.70w x 1.10d","brand":"Stuart Hall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46806950412543,"sku":"9780822349082","price":159.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_03e14287-e1e4-4147-a6c7-58d609801185.jpg?v=1745378150","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-popular-arts-stuart-hall-9780822349082","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
