Kulturální studia jsou mladým oborem především mediálních studií. Vycházejí z neomarxistických zdrojů a z literární kritiky meziválečné Frankfurtské školy, která se jako první kulturní disciplína začala systematicky věnovat "druhořadému" kulturnímu průmyslu. Přehledný slovník mapuje nejen kulturální studia, ale také obory, které k nim mají velmi blízký vztah: Frankfurtská škola (Adorno, Horkheimer, Habermas), postmoderní proud filozofie (Lyotard, Derrida) a sémiotika (Barthes, Eco). Slovník obsahuje na 200 hesel, která shrnují základní koncepty a teorie oboru, charakterizují klíčové osobnosti (Williams, Hall, Hoggart a další) a popisují kulturní obsahy a žánry, kterými si tato disciplína zabývá (seriálové narace, mýdlové opery, romance). Slovník má mnoho přesahů do dalších příbuzných věd (postmoderní filozofie, sémiotiky, pop-kultury, post-feminismu). Kniha je určena studentům sociálních věd - především mediálních studií, žurnalistiky, ale také studentům divadelních a filmových fakult, žurnalistům a pracovníkům v médiích, kulturním teoretikům i zájemcům z řad veřejnosti.
