This book presents a new approach to the field of cultural studies in the form of a series of interviews with some of the world's leading and emergent cultural theorists, including Simon Critchley, Jeremy Gilbert and Slavoj Zizek.

Framed by lively and informative introductions, which introduce the work of these thinkers, and which also introduce the reader to the crucial importance of the issues that the interviews address.

The book is an entertaining introduction to the key ideas in the field, the strengths and problematic weaknesses of cultural studies as a discipline, allowing the reader to chart its development, and to identify emerging trends.
