This book examines nobrow, a cultural formation that intertwines
art and entertainment into an identifiable creative force. In our
eclectic and culturally turbocharged world, the binary of highbrow
vs. lowbrow is incapable of doing justice to the complexity and
artistry of cultural production. Until now, the historical power,
aesthetic complexity, and social significance of nobrow
"artertainment" have escaped analysis. This book rectifies this
oversight. Smart, funny, and iconoclastic, it scrutinizes the many
faces of nobrow, throwing surprising light on the hazards and
rewards of traffic between high entertainment and genre art.
