Description

High-Pop: Making Culture into Popular Entertainment by Jim Collins explores how elite tastes are popularized for mass audiences. This book challenges traditional cultural studies to focus on mainstream culture, arguing that it is often overlooked in favour of more "serious" forms of art and entertainment. By examining the work of nine key thinkers, Collins sheds light on the ways in which high-brow culture is adapted and transformed into popular entertainment. The result is a nuanced understanding of how culture is consumed and created for mass audiences. This book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between high and low culture, inviting readers to consider the role of popular culture in shaping our understanding of art, identity, and society.
