Jim McGuidan is Reader in Culture Studies in coventry University.
How do you `do' cultural studies? What methods are available? How is research helped and hindered? With newly commissioned essays from some leading figures in the field Cultural Methodologies illustrates the distinctiveness and coherence of cultural studies as a site of interaction between the humanities and the social sciences.
Topics covered include: the relationship between critical theory and cultural studies; the pragmatics of cultural research and education; ethical questions and research purposes; the role of feminism in cultural studies; the uses of autobiography; the analysis of city cultures; textual analysis and ethnographic procedures; constructions of identity in relation to `race', sexuality and nationhood; the use of qualitative and quantitative data; and some of the main issues involved in generating research findings for a thesis or other publication.
Cultural Methodologies will function as a resource for thinking through the problems of doing research specifically in cultural studies. Most importantly, the book is written for students either commencing or intending to do research in cultural studies. It stresses how necessary it is to consider and plan very carefully the rationales and principles in research while avoiding the straitjacket of `methodolatory'. Rich and assured, the book is both intellectually daring and practical in its orientation to research in cultural studies.
