In Contours of Culture the authors address practical and theoretical problems of using ethnographic methods in the study of culture, drawing on their field research with an opera company, Welsh artists, and classes on a popular Brazilian martial art.

This refreshing and authoritative book provides readers with a guide to the essential thinking, research and concepts in interactionism and explains why the interactionist influence has not been fully acknowledged in Britain.

Situated within the field of discourse-oriented approaches to policy and media, this collection explores the interface between government, media and the public, highlighting the importance placed on media channelled 'public opinion' as part of a democratic process.
