Описание: "Массовая культура: Вводные аспекты. Четвёртое издание" Марселя Данеси (издание на английском языке).
For courses in popular culture, media and society, and sociology of the media.
Pop culture surrounds us. Its products are the movies we watch, the music we listen to, and the books we read; they are on our televisions, phones, and computers. We are its fickle friend, loving to hate it and hating to love it. Danesi’s text shows us how popular culture validates our common experiences and affects our daily lives.
The fourth edition of Popular Culture: Introductory Perspectives features a fully updated text with new material on celebrity in the digital age. Marcel Danesi delves into the social structures that have led to the emergence and spread of pop culture, showing how it validates our common experiences and offering a variety of perspectives on its many modes of delivery into our everyday lives. The text expands the illustration program and adds teaching ancillaries on an accompanying website.
