Abstract

This revised edition of a now classic text includes a new introduction by Henry Jenkins, explaining 'Why Fiske Still Matters' for today's students, followed by a discussion between former Fiske students Kevin Glynn, Jonathan Gray, and Pamela Wilson on the theme of 'Reading Fiske and Understanding the Popular'. Both underline the continuing relevance of this foundational text in the study of popular culture.What is popular culture? How does it differ from mass culture? And what do popular ""texts"" reveal about class, race, and gender dynamics in a society? John Fiske answers these an

Abstract

Heritage, Labour and the Working Classes is both a celebration and commemoration of working class culture. It contains sometimes inspiring accounts of working class communities and people telling their own stories, and weaves together examples of tangible and intangible heritage, place, history, memory, music and literature.&#13;&#13;Rather than being framed in a 'social inclusion' framework, which sees working class culture as a deficit, this book addresses the question "What is labour and working class heritage, how does it differ or stand in opposition to dominant ways of understanding heritage and history, and in what ways is it used as a contemporary resource?" It also explores how heritage is used in working class communities and by labour organizations, and considers what meanings and significance this heritage may have, while also identifying how and why communities and their heritage have been excluded. Drawing on new scholarship in heritage studies, social memory, the public history of labour, and new working class studies, this volume highlights the heritage of working people, communities and organizations. Contributions are drawn from a number of Western countries including the USA, UK, Spain, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand, and from a range of disciplines including heritage and museum studies, history, sociology, politics, archaeology and anthropology.&#13;&#13;Heritage, Labour and the Working Classes represents an innovative and useful resource for heritage and museum practitioners, students and academics concerned with understanding community heritage and the debate on social inclusion/exclusion. It offers new ways of understanding heritage, its values and consequences, and presents a challenge to dominant and traditional frameworks for understanding and identifying heritage and heritage making.

Abstract

Dit boek is een zeer grondige herwerking van het in 1995 verschenen boek Populaire cultuur, waarin de wetenschappelijke theorievorming over populaire cultuur centraal stond. Dat blijft ook het opzet van dit boek: een analyse bieden van hoe veelal elitaire intellectuelen hebben nagedacht over de cultuur zonder hoofdletter of de cultuur met een kleine c. Zoals in het Manifest van een cultuurpopulist (Acco, 2003) zit ook doorheen deze tekst een stellingname verweven, misschien niet altijd expliciet, maar dan toch impliciet. Dit boek probeert het elitaire spreken van bepaalde sociologen en culturo's over cultuur met een kleine c te ontmaskeren. Wanneer vaak elitaire doemdenkers praten over de cultuur van het volk, kan men daar een moeilijk uit te roeien dieptestructuur blootleggen, die wij `de cultuurdriehoek` hebben genoemd. Deze cultuurdriehoek (van massacultuur ten opzichte van hoge cultuur en volkscultuur) blijft het cultuurdebat hardnekkig voeden. Ter illustratie van de manier waarop populaire cultuur wel degelijk zinvol bestudeerd kan worden, zijn in dit boek nog niet eerder gepubliceerde teksten opgenomen over jeugdculturen, toerisme, BV's, sterren in reclame voor een zeepproduct, en tuinkabouters.
