Description

What is popular culture? Why study popular culture in an academic context? An Introduction to U.S. Popular Culture: People, Politics, and Power introduces and explores the history and contemporary analysis of popular culture in the United States. In situating popular culture as lived experience through the practice of everyday life, the authors divide the text in three sections-myth, identity, and community-to broaden the understanding of culture beyond a focus on media texts, taking an interdisciplinary approach to analyze American culture, its rituals, beliefs, and the objects that shape its existence. After an introduction that outlines the history of popular culture as an academic discipline, the first section on 'Myth' looks at the institutional structures that shape the mindset of popular culture in the United States. The second section, 'Identity,' explores the ways in which these myths and mindset are internalized, practiced, and shaped by individuals. The final section, 'Community,' discusses the way individuals come together to make meaningful connections through shared experience. This approach to the field of study explores all matters of culture in a way that is accessible and relevant to individuals in and outside of the classroom.
