In the context of the growing diversity of contemporary societies
and the central importance of the electronic media, the place of
popular culture in the school curriculum has become an increasingly
controversial political issue. Based on in-depth research in an
ethnically mixed, working-class secondary school, Cultural Studies
Goes to School is concerned with the relationships between young
people's involvement in popular culture outside school and their
experiences of media education within the formal school curriculum.
The first part of the book provides a detailed analysis of
students' readings and uses of popular media, ranging from computer
games and soap operas to comics and rap music. It offers a further
challenge to received notions of young people as passive victims of
ideological manipulation by the media and develops a social theory
of reading that acknowledges the complex roles of gender, race and
social class. The second part describes a number of classroom
projects involving both critical and practical aspects of media
education. Through analysis of students' work in a range of media,
including photography, video and print, the authors develop a
challenging theory of learning about popular culture and its place
in the school curriculum. This book offers an exciting and
accessible account of young people reading and making popular
culture, which challenges many of the political claims and received
wisdoms of academic Cultural Studies.
