	In recent years `culture' has become a central concern in a wide range of fields and disciplines. This book introduces the main substantive and theoretical strands of this `turn to culture' through the medium of a particular case study: that of the Sony Walkman. Using the example of the Walkman, the book indicates how and why cultural practices and institutions have come to play such a crucial part in our lives, and introduces some of the central ideas, concepts and methods of analysis involved in conducting cultural studies. The authors identify five major cultural processes - representation, identity, production, consumption and regulation - which together constitute a kind of `cultural circuit' that can be used to structure the study of any cultural text or artefact. It is the cultural circuit which is used here to analyze the Walkman as a cultural object. This unique book offers not only an introduction to key issues and debates in contemporary cultural studies, but also a practical illustration of how cultural studies can be used to make sense of our everyday lives. Doing Cultural Studies: The Story of the Sony Walkman is the first of a series of books developed by the Open University which aims to offer a comprehensive and innovative introduction to contemporary cultural studies. The series editor is Professor Stuart Hall.
