British culture today is the product of a shifting combination of tradition and experimentation, national identity and regional and ethnic diversity. These distinctive tensions are expressed in a range of cultural arenas, such as art, sport, journalism, fashion, education, and race. This Companion addresses these and other major aspects of British culture, and offers a sophisticated understanding of what it means to study and think about the diverse cultural landscapes of contemporary Britain. Each contributor looks at the language through which culture is formed and expressed, the political and institutional trends that shape culture, and at the role of culture in daily life. This interesting and informative account of modern British culture embraces controversy and debate, and never loses sight of the fact that Britain and Britishness must always be understood in relation to the increasingly international context of globalisation.

Buku Sastera dalam Budaya dan Media merupakan sebuah kompilasi esei yang dihasilkan oleh para pensyarah serta pelajar ijazah tinggi dalam bidang kesusasteraan. Kepelbagaian bidang dan kajian kesusasteraan yang dijelmakan dalam penulisan ini sebenarnya diikat kukuh dalam suatu tema, iaitu perkaitan antara sastera dan budaya serta sastera dan media. Kajian kesusasteraan sememangnya tidak pernah terkurung dalam dunianya semata-mata. Ia tidak sekadar cerita, tetapi sebenarnya mengungkapkan pelbagai persoalan yang berkaitan dengan budaya silam dan juga budaya semasa masyarakat. Isu-isu berkaitan manusia, masyarakat, tradisi, warisan dan sebagainya memang menjadi bahan dalam pengisahan karya sastera sama ada sastera tradisional mahupun sastera moden. Malah, dalam arus kemodenan kini sastera turut mengadaptasikan dirinya dalam bidang media. Karya-karya sastera kini muncul dalam bentuk e-sastera, sastera digital, sastera siber dan pelbagai lagi. Buku ini mengupas persoalan-persoalan budaya masyarakat istana dan desa dalam kesusasteraan Melayu tradisional merangkumi sastera tulisan dan juga lisan. Persoalan tentang masyarakat moden dan kontemporari juga turut diberikan perhatian melalui kajian-kajian novel, cerpen dan juga sajak. Penulisan yang melangkaui dimensi antarabangsa turut mendapat perhatian penulis. Budaya masyarakat antarabangsa dipamerkan melalui beberapa karya yang dihasilkan oleh pengarang luar negara. Ia diperlihatkan dalam dimensi perbandingan dan juga persepsi Barat terhadap Timur. Seterusnya, perkaitan sastera dan media pula menonjolkan karya-karya sastera yang telah difilemkan dan juga karya-karya yang muncul dalam bentuk digital di ruang siber. Penulis-penulis telah menunjukkan perubahan yang berlaku apabila sesuatu karya tersebut diadaptasi dan juga bentuk-bentuk baru sastera yang telah muncul dalam era digital. Penulisan buku ini sememangnya ingin membuktikan bahawa bidang kesusasteraan sebenarnya sangat dekat dengan budaya hidup masyarakat dan juga sentiasa memenuhi kehendak zaman.

Balinese Reflections on Modernity and Identity in the Twentieth Century
A Literary mirror is the first English-language work to comprehensively analyse Indonesian-language literature from Bali from a literary and cultural viewpoint. It covers the period from 1920 to 2000. This is an extremely rich field for research into the ways Balinese view their culture and how they respond to external cultural forces. This work complements the large number of existing studies of Bali and its history, anthropology, traditional literature, and the performing arts.
