Description

This cultural studies reader directly engages the process of reading and writing about the “texts” one sees in everyday life. Using the lenses of rhetoric, semiotics and cultural studies, students are encouraged to become effective academic writers while gaining deeper insights into such popular culture categories as movies, technology, race, ethnicity, television, media, relationships, public space, and more. Just as important, the book teaches students the usefulness of actively reading their surroundings.

Features

Themes from popular culture- Focuses exclusively on engaging, relevant themes such as movies, relationships, media, music, race and gender to best connect with students’ direct experiences, facilitating critical thinking and cultural and visual analysis.

Visual Orientation- More than 100 vibrant images, most in full color, serve as visual texts for student reaction, analysis and writing.

"The World is a Text: Writing"- A compact academic writing guide section includes thorough instruction in and examples of how to write about culture.

Extensive writing prompts- “This Text: Reading” and “Your Text: Writing” at the end of each reading, and “Reading Outside the Lines” at the end of each chapter provide hundreds of opportunities for critical writing and reading and direct engagement of culture and classmates.

Semiotics approach- Accessible discussion of “signifiers” and “signified” equips students to directly engage the world as a text. Most readings draw on semiotics directly or indirectly as the means of analyzing and directly engaging popular culture.

Suites of readings- Each themed chapter includes a subset of several readings and images on the same topic, exposing students to multiple perspectives and encouraging writing from sources.

Diverse selections— Features varied readings that range from short pieces to funny pieces to longer, theoretical works to documented essays to student essays.

Student essay in every chapter- Presents models of the high quality of work that first-year students are capable of. An annotated student essay in "The World is a Text: Writing" provides a clear example of rhetoric and structure.

ISBN-10: 0131931989 | ISBN-13: 9780131931985
Brief Description |
For courses in First Year Composition, Cultural Studies, Popular Culture, and Semiotics.

The World is a Text is the most visual popular culture reader with the best coverage of writing.

When Jonathan Silverman and Dean Rader commuted together, they often discussed the possibilities and challenges of teaching popular culture and composition. Not only did they want their students to read diverse texts about popular culture, but also they wanted to equip them to engage with popular culture and with each other directly for the goal of better writing. The authors also envisioned more purposeful writing instruction in general in a popular culture reader. Out of those discussions and their own classroom practice came The World is a Text.

This cultural studies reader directly engages the process of reading and writing about the “texts” one sees in everyday life. The semiotic approach focuses on the relationship between reading traditional works–-such as essays and poems–-and other less-traditional ones–-such as movies, technology, race, ethnicity, television and public space. More importantly, the book teaches students the usefulness of learning to read actively their surroundings. The new edition features a greatly expanded section on writing, editing, and making arguments.
