Welcome back to Comms, I hope that you are well rested and that your summer was culturally enriching.
Now ... although I am not a great fan of the AS textbook, I think that the A2 version is much better and is definitely worth buying. It's called A2 Communication and Culture (The Essential Introduction) and is by Peter Bennett and Jerry Slater (ISBN 978-0-415-471602). It will probably be just under £20. It covers all of the theoretical perspectives and key concepts that we deal with at A2 and I recommend that you do invest in a copy.
We are going to start the 2nd year course learning about the -isms (Capitalism, Marxism, Feminism, Post-Modernism, Post Colonialism) which act as the theoretical perspectives through which you will approach the whole course. If you want to get ahead, then why not watch the cartoon version of Animal Farm on Youtube (even better - read it!) which will prepare you for Capitalism and Marxism.
