Britishness and Cultural Studies: Continuity and Change in Narrating the Nation is a collection of introductory texts for British Cultural Studies courses in Polish universities and colleges. Representing 'British culture' the authors acquaint students with Cultural Studies methodologies and practice, especially in multi- and cross-cultural contexts. Narration of national culture is examined from diverse perspectives: class, ethnicity and gender; history and postcoloniality. The interdisciplinary quality is achieved through analysis of literature, art, mass culture, international relations, myths and stereotypes. Students are encouraged to interpret contemporary phenomena such as globalisation, migration, tourism, the age of information, cross0cultural fertilisation and the rise of new qualities and values. Britishness... offers both academic and personal approaches to culture.
