A fully revised and updated edition of this widely adopted textbook. The First Edition was published in 2003 by Hodder.

As with the three previous titles in the Cultures and Globalization Series, this is a cutting edge collection from an international group of authors. Heritage and memory in particular are key themes in international cultural and media studies.

A long awaited fully revised and updated edition of Graeme Turner's popular exploration of celebrity studies.

"This is a thoughtful update on previous editions; Julier takes time to pick up on 'sticky' issues and explain them in detail without sounding pedantic or over-bearing. This new edition will be a welcome addition to contemporary design culture and of use to designers and students alike." - Dr Juliette MacDonald, Edinburgh College of Art

This ground-breaking book shines a spotlight on how design has become embedded in political economies, emerging as a vital feature of neoliberal economic systems, from urban strategies to commercial processes to government policy-making.
