 missed opportunity, 2008-02-18
I am an average reader with a background in english and physical therapy, recently i have been reading a lot on popular culture and tried to reader this reader but i was put off, to the extent that cultural studies includes sociology, demographics, urban studies, and other social science disciplines, this is a disappointing book which seems to assemble the big names in cultural studies, at least that's what the editor makes sure we know in the introduction, but he passes on the chance to include many of the up and coming writers on the subjects that could make cultural studies more atractive to people who are not insiders. The book includes Janice Radway who wrote a lot about women's popular fiction, on romance, and made a point that romance is not the bogeyman (bogeywoman?) of culture critics, but it is too bad the new edition book did not include one of my favorite books about popular culture, or i should popular fiction, and about the rise of the nobrow culture which is something i could not find even a single reference to in this whole reader. The book is called From lowbrow to Nobrow, and I did an amazon search and there are only two books about nobrow, which shows how new this field is and how little has been written about it. Oh and by the way the absence of Ray B Browne also makes this reader wonder about the ideology of this whole book (ideology seems to be the big theme of this whole book, but there is very little data to back it up). So three stars only, because some essays are very good and accessible but others are so abstract that they are almost unreadable.
