An excerpt from the Black Bibliographical Collection:
Media Studies Bibliography
This bibliography represents an ambitious attempt to organize old, classic, and new texts in the media interpretive or textual theory area and the media sociology area, as well as a select number of materials in the area of media and the "third world". For the sake of coherence and ease of use, the bibliography is organized into three large sections, and a number of appropriate sub-sections. An index for the materials here is included below. Note that most materials, with the exception of articles deemed critical to a particular area of study, are books--an ironic item with which to fill a bibliography on electronic media, to be sure. Materials included are largely current ones; older texts of less relevance are omitted to save space.
Cultural Studies Bibliography
I've organized the Cultural Studies bibliography into four parts, reflecting articles and books that are:
(1) concerned with the problem of culture, that represent important introductory textbooks in the field, or that have value as reference texts;
(2) concerned with some particular school or tradition within cultural theory;
(3) concerned with various issues in cultural criticism; or
(4) committed to the study of modernity and/or postmodernity, i.e., cultural history.
I've tried to represent the major theoretical traditions in Cultural Studies, as well as offering materials reflective of topics that you might take up individually or in groups. Note that this bibliography tries to exclude media theory or media sociology texts, so as to preserve some conceptual clarity as to what constitutes "Cultural Studies".
This is not an exhaustive list, and you're encouraged to keep this bibliography and add to it texts that you discover. Other extensive bibliographies can be found in the volume Cultural Studies, ed. by Lawrence Grossberg et al, on-line via any of the several Cultural Studies sites, and in the back of any decent introductory text in Cultural Studies.
... hope this provides some enlightenment
