Although a fashionable term, ``culture’’ has nevertheless remained an ill-defined one. In this book, Chris Jenks attempts to further define this daunting subject, examining this concept in the context of both idealism and materialism, determining its relationship to the notion of social structure, and assessing its former dominance within literary studies. Jenks discusses concepts of cultural polarization (high vs. low) and cultural reproduction as well as culture in relation to postmodernism.
