Cultural Remix: Theories of Politics and the Popular

by Erica Carter

On This Page

Description

A glance at current higher education curricula reveals cinema courses in departments of history and seminars on comics and romantic fiction in contexts stretching from sociology to modern languages. All this signals a new, and welcome, legitimacy for popular cultural studies. But in its drive to shift the focus from high culture to popular forms, cultural studies has often failed to formulate alternate models of cultural or political value and judgement. Cultural Remix attempts to chart the show more historical traces of critical efforts to produce a new field of cultural-political engagement. Presenting the most incisive articles from New Formations, the ground-breaking journal of cultural theory, Cultural Remix illustrates how ideas of reading the popular are crucial to understanding the ways in which politics and the popular have informed one another. show less
