, SEMINAR 1: WHAT IS POPULAR CULTURE
POPULAR CULTURE AS A CONCEPT
No definition, all answers are justified. Important is the idea that popular culture is self-expression. Popular
culture:
- It’s very meaningful for everyone’s lives.
- There is no definite answer
Definition popular culture: it is usually defined in relation to what it is not. There is no way in understanding
what is high culture and popular culture. When a lot of people are consuming it (kwantitative) it is popular
culture. But Shakespeare is now high culture, back in the days it was popular culture. So it is defined in time and
space.
Popular culture has a history:
- it’s a trend to the organisation of society.
- Popular culture is always linked with questions of ideology.
- Popular culture structures there life: fe. Soaps at 8 o’clock
It motivates us to take action
• Popular culture is always defined in relation to what it is not
• ‘An empty conceptual category’
• The study of popular culture in media and communication studies
• Thinking about popular culture has a history
• The study of popular culture is about relationships of power and ideology
• Popular culture gives meaning to the everyday lives of people, as well as structures people’s
everyday lives
• Varied study objects; film, television, gaming, social media, newspapers, data, …
BOEK
- Part of the difficulty in forming a definition lies in otherness, what is the absent other, what isn’t
popular culture?
- It is an empty conceptual category
- It depends on the context, contexts are the other texts that a particular text fully meaningful, set of
presuppositions, intertexts brough to the text by a reader. Meaning is something a text acquires in a
particular context, they are always understood in relation with different texts. But text also enables
the meaning of a context, it is an active and interactive relationship. We create contexts by our modes
of understanding and contexts change as a consequence of our inclusion of a particular text.
