Zusammenfassung

"South Park" has no fear in tackling subjects as outlandish as Terry Schiavo, "The Passion of the Christ", and Tom Cruise's alleged homosexuality. It's a mixture of iconoclasm, cultural referents and intertextuality. Examining contemporary popular culture in America, this title looks at television's role in the creation of that culture.

Toni Johnson-Woods is a lecturer in Contemporary Studies at the University of Queensland. To date she has published three books on popular culture: the first was an academic treatise on popular 19th century fiction; the second book, Big Bother (University of Queensland Press, 2002), was the first book to examine Reality TV and combine academic evaluation with fandom; and the third book Gone but not Forgotten (National Library of Australia, 2004) examines pulp fiction.
