- Summary:
- Praise for previous editions: "Because of its range and erudition, and its interesting use of examples and detail, the work could be usefully consulted by readers at all levels of experience....It is thus a book which can be recommended for dipping into, idly or curiously, as well as for more specific and deliberate reference". -- British Journal of Aesthetics. Now in its third edition, this critically acclaimed glossary has been revised and expanded to include many new terms in this volatile and fast-changing field. A substantial number of new entries come from the increasingly influential area of post-colonialism (neo-Tarzanism, mediascape), many are new or previously unremarked terms in the field as a whole (cyborg, queer theory, habitus), and many entries have been revised as our understanding of the theoretical terminology has evolved.
