Culture Popular Postmodernism Inventing Popular Culture: From Folklore to Globalization by John Storey, Inventing Popular Culture is a lively, accessible history of the concept of popular culture by one of the leading experts in the field. Written from the critical perspective of cultural studies, this engaging book traces the invention and reinvention of the concept of popular culture, from the eighteenth-century "discovery" of folk culture to contemporary accounts of the cultural impact of globalization. Inventing Popular Culture argues that the concept of popular culture is an invention of intellectuals. Therefore, the book does not present an analysis of particular texts and activities that have been or could be defined as popular culture. Rather, it explores the changing intellectual ways of constructing texts and activities as popular culture and how these intellectual discourses articulate questions of culture and power. Examining the relationship between the concept of popular culture and key issues in cultural analyses such as hegemony, postmodernism, identity, questions of value, consumerism, and everyday life, Inventing Popular Culture presents a provocative assessment of one of the most debated concepts of recent times.
Media Culture: Cultural Studies, Identity, and Politics Between the Modern and the Postmodern by Douglas Kellner, Media Culture develops methods and analyses of contemporary film, television, music, and other artifacts to discern their nature and effects. The book argues that media culture is now the dominant form of culture which socializes us and provides materials for identity in terms of both social reproduction and change. Through studies of Reagan and Rambo, horror films and youth films, rap music and African-American culture, Madonna, fashion, television news and entertainment, MTV, Beavis and Butt-Head, the Gulf War as cultural text, cyberpunk fiction and postmodern theory, Kellner provides a series of lively studies that both illuminate contemporary culture and provide methods of analysis and critique. Many people today talk about cultural studies, but Kellner actually does it, carrying through a unique mixture of theoretical analysis and concrete discussions of some of the most popular and influential forms of contemporary media culture. Criticizing social context, political struggle, and the system of cultural production, Kellner develops a multidimensional approach to cultural studies that broadens the field and opens it to a variety of disciplines. He also provides new approaches to the vexed question of the effects of culture and offers new perspectives for cultural studies. Anyone interested in the nature and effects of contemporary society and culture should read this book. Kellner argues that we are in a state of transition between the modern era and a new postmodern era and that media culture offers a privileged field of study and one that is vital if we are to grasp the full import of the changes currently shaking us.
