As cultural studies has grown from its modest origins on the fringes of English literature into an academic powerhouse, it has gradually drifted away from both literature and sociology, favoring the semiotics of popular culture. This book serves as a decisive attempt to re-establish those crucial connections between literary studies, cultural studies, and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArguing against both literary humanism and sociological relativism, Milner engages with major contemporary debates about the literary canon and its non-literary counterparts. The text presents an accessible overview of key theoretical approaches to textual analysis, including hermeneutics and postmodernism. Milner also delves into the capitalist literary mode of production, examining both the technological forces of mechanical reproduction and the social relations of commodification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book features detailed case studies of both written texts and films, offering practical illustrations of its core arguments. \u003cem\u003eLiterature, Culture, and Society\u003c\/em\u003e is a thought-provoking introduction to the sociology of literature, challenging readers to reconsider the role of literature in shaping societal structures. It is an essential read for students and teachers of literary and cultural studies who are looking for a critical exploration of the intersections between literature, culture, and social theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiterature, Culture, and the Canon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalytical Strategies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanical Reproduction: The Forces of Production\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommodity Culture: The Relations of Production\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTexts and Contexts: From Genesis to Frankenstein\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTexts and Contexts: From Frankenstein to \u003cem\u003eBlade Runner\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrew Milner is an Associate Professor in the Centre for Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies at Monash University, Melbourne.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rawat Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50011114340656,"sku":"DRG.RawatPublications_9788131610176","price":634.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81WG0w5WKPL.jpg?v=1756393878","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/literature-culture-and-society","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
