Description

Mass Culture and Everyday Life is a collection of lively work from the small but seminal journal Tabloid. The book offers a clarification of the study of mass culture as it transforms daily life; providing a detailed survey of a wide range of the mass culture phenomena that have defined our everyday lives in recent years: from Hillarys hairdo to tampons; exercise fads and fashion trends; from soaps to opera to rythmn and blues; from horror movies to the interrelation of cats; pigs and mothers in Babe. This volume includes ground-breaking essays on: the boom of talk radio and talk TV; shopping as cinematic spectacle; and how "everyday life" in the university community has become a key battleground in Americas "culture wars." The direct; accessible; and refreshingly personal work speak not only to an academic audience but to a wide general readership.
