"This volume examines issues of taste, media and lifestyle from a historical perspective. The contributors seek to show how 'lifestyle' as a concept and as a set of practices has evolved over time, progressively over-writing 'tradition'. Focusing specifically on the 1900s to 1970s the volume provides empirical evidence on key debates in the field from a cross-national perspective between the UK and US. The case studies, including Good Housekeeping and Playboy, explore the continuities and discontinuities between the past and present to provide a better understanding about the representation of lifestyle and its relationship to the self. Analysis of how ideas about lifestyle have been mediated in particular times and places is also provided.

The volume makes a significant contribution to this growing field and is of interest to academics and students in media and cultural studies, communication studies, cultural history, and sociology."--Jacket.
