Klappentext Since its birth in the 1960s! the study of popular culture has come a long way in defining its object! its purpose! and its place in academe.

Through seminal essays that document the maturation of the field as it gradually made headway toward legitimacy! "Popular Culture Theory and Methodology" provides students of popular culture with both the historical context and the critical apparatus required for further growth. Zusammenfassung What exactly is popular culture? How should it be studied? What forces come together in producing! disseminating! and consuming it? This collection offers responses to these and similar questions. Edited by Harold E. Hinds! Jr.! Marilyn F. Motz! and Angela M. S. Nelson! the book charts some of the key turning points in the ""culture wars.
