Pressestimmen
"We think in words. A careful discussion of the words we use helps us to think more clearly about modern western society. All academic libraries catering for the humanities or social sciences should consider requiring a reference copy, as should those public libraries which still feel their mission is to assist their readers in thinking clearly, rather than just to provide them with entertainment." Martin Guha, King's College London
Kurzbeschreibung
Over 25 years ago, Raymond Williams' "Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society" set the standard for how we understand and use the language of culture and society. Now, three luminaries in the field of cultural studies have assembled a volume that builds on and updates Williams' classic, reflecting the transformation in culture and society since its publication. "New Keywords: A Revised Vocabulary of Culture and Society" is a state-of-the-art reference for students, teachers and culture vultures everywhere.The book assembles a stellar team of internationally renowned and interdisciplinary social thinkers and theorists; showcases 142 signed entries - from art, commodity, and fundamentalism to youth, utopia, the virtual, and the West - that capture the practices, institutions, and debates of contemporary society; builds on and updates Raymond Williams' classic "Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society", by reflecting the transformation in culture and society over the last 25 years; and, includes a bibliographic resource to guide research and cross-referencing. The book is supported by a website.

Format:Taschenbuch
"Keywords" hieß 1976 das Buch, das Raymond Williams in einer eigenen Reihe, der "Fontana Communications Series" auf den Markt brachte. Es hatte den Untertitel "A Vocabulary of Culture and Society", und Englands bedeutendster Kulturwissenschaftler zeigte hier am Beispiel von rund hundert Begriffen (von "aesthetic" bis "work"), wie sich Konzept und Bedeutung von Begriffen geändert haben. Sieben Jahre später waren es schon 21 Begriffe mehr, und es war ihm klar, dass manche seiner Definitionen schon wieder revisionsbedürftig waren. Knapp zwanzig Jahre nach seinem Tod haben Tony Bennett, Lawrence Grossberg und Meaghan Morris es mit Hilfe zahlreicher Fachgelehrter (und das ist die crème de la crème der Cultural Studies) unternommen, die guten alten "Keywords" auf den neuesten Stand zu bringen. Jetzt sind es 142 vom jeweiligen Verfasser abgezeichnete Begriffe, die auf 378 Seiten erläutert werden. Dazu kommt noch eine über 30-seitige Bibliographie. Mehr kann man sich nicht wünschen. Im Gegensatz zu der zur Zeit in Deutschland grassierenden Inflation des Begriffes der Kulturwissenschaft (etwas, was offensichtlich jeder ohne Qualifikation betreiben kann), haben die englischen Cultural Studies mit Raymond Williams, Richard Hoggart und dem Centre for Contemporary Culture Studies in Birmingham schon eine lange Tradition. Man kann den Herausgebern und Beiträgern dieses Bandes nur dankbar sein, dass sie mit schönem englischen Common Sense ein Update von Williams "Keywords" vorgelegt haben.

Usless in the age of Wikipedia
4. Januar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book, which was required for an introduction to graduate studies course I recently took, is nothing more than a specialized, and random, encyclopedia. The other reviews hail this volume as a "comprehensive resource" for multiple areas of study. The problem is, the definitions of each term are too broad to be useful to specialists and too random and/or inaccessible for people merely interested in these topics. Most of the terms are all so unrelated that I just don't see the point of owning this book. If you need a definition for "globalism" and "materialism," buying this book would be useless. There are plenty of free resources online which also define such terms, and often more comprehensively than this broad overview.
I can see why such a volume was viable when it was first printed in the 70's, but why it was reprinted in 2005 is beyond me. This seems to be an intellectual artifact with very little use in the 21st century.

Useful Seed for Content Dictionaries
10. März 2012
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This volume is an update of Raymond Williams' Keywords : A Vocabulary of Culture and Society published in 1985. The original volume was designed to provide "one-stop shopping" for definitions of social science terms used to discuss "culture and society." The authors have followed three strategies in their update: expanding definitions of the keywords to include conceptual analysis since 1985; adding new keywords which have become important during this time; and removing key words that have declined in importance. The result is a list of 142 keywords, each with an extended discussion of its history and meaning.
The book's value as a reference is a fair matter for debate. In some ways it may be superseded by the type and quantity of information on the web. But there are also advantages to a standard source, at least as a reference point. One additional advantage is its usefulness in building word lists or "content dictionaries" for automated analysis of text collections (see The Text Mining Handbook). The extensive cross-referencing of relationships between keywords and the common vocabulary used in their definitions have a consistency that reduces the amount of work needed to create content dictionary categories with crisp boundaries.
I recommend the book for researchers conducting content and text analysis of social and cultural themes.

A showcase of academic intellectual shortcomings ..........
17. März 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
There is one giant problem with this book. Quoting from the introduction, "We asked contributors to address the concepts in ways that would reflect their own perspectives ...". That is like asking Count Dracula to write a contribution on Vampirism.
I bought the book at a "$2 per inch" sale. This is a one inch book. The entries I have read have all demonstrated the loathesome bias typical of closed minds. What finished me was reading the Marxist entry on Fundamentalism. There may be worthy contributions in this book but they are rendered useless by the garbage surrounding them.
