When it first appeared in 1964, Stuart Hall and Paddy Whannel's The
Popular Arts opened up an almost unprecedented field of analysis
and inquiry into contemporary popular culture. Counter to the
prevailing views of the time, Hall and Whannel recognized popular
culture's social importance and considered it worthy of serious
study. In their analysis of everything from Westerns and the novels
of Mickey Spillane, Ian Fleming, and Raymond Chandler to jazz,
advertising, and the television industry, they were guided by the
belief that studying popular culture demanded an ethical evaluation
of the text and full attention to its properties. In so doing, they
raised questions about the relation of culture to society and the
politics of taste and judgment in ways that continue to shape
cultural studies. Long out of print, this landmark text highlights
the development of Hall's theoretical and methodological approach
while adding a greater understanding of his work. This edition also
includes a new introduction by Richard Dyer, who contextualizes The
Popular Arts within the history of cultural studies and outlines
its impact and enduring legacy.
