Rather than seeking to establish a definite and discrete terrain that can be named as ’culture’ Ben Highmore demonstrates how the cultural is much better understood as an approach to phenomena rather than an adequate description of the phenomena itself. The book provides a clear and robust defense of the productivity of cultural analysis in a media saturated world; offering a workable understanding of the category ’culture’ and the ’cultural’ as well as a clear sense of the practical possibilities involved in cultural approaches to understanding the world.
