Critical theory: from ideology critique to the sociology of culture. 4. Semiology: from structuralism to post-structuralism. 5. The cultural politics of difference. 6.

The authors identify six major paradigms in cultural theory: utilitarianism; culturalism and cultural materialism; critical theory and the sociology of culture; structuralist and post-structuralist semiology; difference theory; and postmodernism. They outline the social and discursive contexts within which each of these has developed, and provide the essential grounding to understand current debates in the field.
