Many attack pop culture as a crude 'sexual' and 'celebrity-based'
culture that is purportedly bringing about the end of moral values.
Renowned semiotician Marcel Danesi adds his signature insight to
the debate by delving deep into pop culture through a consideration
of symbols. Danesi's treatment of letters, such as the X in
'X-Rated,' the 'i' in 'iPod,' and other such symbols, reveals an
ancient mythic structure that blends the sacred and profane
dimensions of human psychic life. Danesi takes the reader on a
remarkable exploration of the radical turns in American society, a
society in which the search for pleasure and sexual expression
often reign supreme. X-Rated! is a fascinating trip through what
gives pop culture its secret appeal.
