Unpopular Cultures by Steve Redhead
Where legal theory, deviance and cultural studies collide, a whole new area of popular cultural studies has grown. This text provides an introduction to this field, covering such diverse areas as sport, the arts, popular music, heritage, tourism, youth culture, information technology and various mass media. The histories and studies covered in this book suggest the existence of a widespread condition in fin de siecle legal and cultural theory which is only partially caught by the debates about postmodernism, postmodernity and postmodernization. Redhead pursues the history of the popular/unpopular couplet from the late 19th century into the accelerated pop culture at the end of the millennium.Steve Redhead is Professor of Cultural Studies at Flinders University, Australia.
