Closing out and perhaps punctuating our Ch 1 readings in Brummett, here is John Fiske's 1995 essay, "Popular Culture," identifying his understanding of "popular culture" as a term then emerging at the forefront of critical theory. This version of the essay is hyperlinked in ways that lead to additionally useful terms, theories, essays, and sites. Possibly useful for your projects. Enjoy.
Fwiw, I am a long time admirer of Fiske's work. Here are the slides (open in Keynote) from class. In a far less lovely presentation style, here are the slides in ppt.
This is not so much about privacy, but I simply had to share it!!
