Description

In Politics and Popular Culture, John Street explores the debate about the political character of popular culture between those who see it as a form of manipulation and those who see it as populist self-expression. He argues that such approaches are limited and that we need to alter our perspective on the politics of popular culture. He does this by looking more closely at the ways in which the state organizes the production and consumption of popular culture, and at how political judgments are part of the creation and the pleasures of popular culture. This book will be invaluable for students in cultural studies, mass media studies, sociology and politics.
