This is a clear and comprehensive guide to the major theories of
popular culture. Dominic Strinati provides a critical assessment of
the ways in which these theories have tried to understand and
evaluate popular culture in modern societies. Among the theories
and ideas the book introduces are mass culture, the Frankfurt
School and the culture industry, semiology and structuralism,
Marxism, feminism, postmodernism and cultural populism. Strinati
explains how theorists such as Adorno, Barthes, Althusser and
Hebdige have grappled with the many forms of popular culture, from
jazz to the Americanization of British popular culture, from
Hollywood cinema to popular television series, and from teen
magazines to the spy novel. Each chapter includes a guide to key
texts for further reading and there is also a comprehensive
bibliography. This new edition has been fully revised and updated.
