If today's students of social theory delve into the works of Jurgen Habermas, Michael Foucault, and Anthony Giddens, it is imperative that they also acquaint themselves with the insights of Raymond Williams, Julia Kristeva, and Slavoj Zizek. The second edition of the Routledge Handbook of Social and Cultural Theory, a comprehensive and critical guide to the major traditions of thought in social and cultural theory, has been thoroughly revised and updated to cater to the needs of students, teachers, and researchers alike.

Edited by esteemed sociologist Anthony Elliott, this Handbook presents a compelling case for integrating social and cultural theory in a more systematic manner than ever before. It brings together key social and cultural theories, spanning from classical approaches to postmodern, psychoanalytic, and post-feminist perspectives, and critically evaluates them. Additionally, new chapters on mobilities and migrations have been included, as well as a discussion on posthumanism.

Written in a clear and accessible style, the Handbook is designed to appeal to a broad audience of students and scholars. The extensive references and sources provided will guide students toward further exploration of these complex topics. By delving into the works of these influential thinkers, today's students can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of society and culture and contribute to the ongoing dialogue in social and cultural theory.
