Come take a closer look at ordinary footwear, like sneakers, or
children's toys and Saturday cartoon TV shows, or make a comparison
between Don Quixote and John Rambo of the Sylvester Stallone movie.
Although some regard popular culture as "shallow," this book
reveals that it is more often complex, deep, meaningful and subject
to the style changes we associate with high art. Bergesen shows how
complex philosophical ideas of reincarnation are embedded in
Transformer toys; how sneakers have gone through a life cycle of
style types; why the decline of empires like Spain and the United
States led to fictional characters like Don Quixote and Rambo; and
why monsters from Japan look different than those from the United
States.
