In an exciting departure in the growing field of discourse analysis, Culture & Text combines a fresh approach to theory with exemplary demonstrations of interdisciplinary analysis. Despite its emphasis on text, cultural studies has kept most forms of discourse analysis at arm's length. Positioned at the conjunction of linguistic and poststructuralist approaches to discourse analysis, this book argues for a textual metalanguage for cultural studies and for a reevaluation of methodology.

First published in 1990, this study focuses on the subversive techniques of British postmodernist fiction and examines its challenge to Realist traditions, and the liberal humanist ideology behind it. Exploring the concept of literary postmodernism, and the strategies and philosophies to which it has given rise, Alison Lee investigates how they are developed in a selection of contemporary British novels, including Midnight’s Children, Waterland, Flaubert’s Parrot, and Lanark. Postmodernism is considered in relation to history, the visual and performing arts, popular culture, including advertising, music videos, and popular fiction, notably Stephen King’s Misery. A detailed and comprehensive study, this reissue of Realism and Power will be essential reading for students of literary and cultural studies.

Sophisticated, funny - and deliciously erotic - this captivating series follows three young women navigating the modern culture clash playing out in historically conservative, but increasingly progressive Salt Lake City. Sarah Bryant grew up a good Mormon girl on a Utah horse farm. She was loyal, endearingly na ve, and perfectly happy in the shadow of her more outgoing childhood friends, until one world-changing autumn morning sent her on an unexpected course. Growing up next door to Sarah, Kyra Whitney was a world apart, with a hard-drinking mother and all the shame that created in suburban Salt Lake. But Kyra figured a way out of that trap, and finds herself in a luxuriant existence in Paris - as the pampered mistress of a married man. Then, Sarah calls with tragic news that brings Kyra back to her childhood home, and a long-hidden past of abuse and betrayal. Annabelle Franklin - known as "Anna Bell" to her thousands of drive-time listeners - completes the trio. Though she has a Ph.D. in gender studies and isn't afraid to use it, she's taken up burlesque dancing on the side and is totally plugged into Salt Lake City's surprising counterculture. This witty, irreverent, and ultimately heartbreaking romance floats the canals of Venice, suns on the beaches of St. Lucia, and strolls the Bund of Shanghai. But the three independent women at its center always return to their Salt Lake roots as they explore love, loss, and lust of life.

First Published in 1996. Gender, Literacy, Curriculum is a major contribution to research and theory in literacy and curriculum studies. Alison Lee looks at how the texts and discourses of schooling construct 'geography' as a curriculum field, and how this construction is tied closely with students' gendered identities and practices in the classroom. She brings together discourse analyses of research texts, textbooks, classroom talk, students' and teachers' accounts, with a detailed linguistic analysis of students' written work. This title is of particular interest to those working in literacy education and curriculum, discourse analysis and applied linguistics, feminisms and critical pedagogies.
