2. Popular Culture: Mirror of American Life. Newspaper Articles for the Eighth Course by Newspaper.

Author

California Univ., San Diego. Univ. Extension., White, David Manning, White, David Manning, and California Univ., San Diego. Univ. Extension.

Abstract

Fifteen newspaper articles about popular culture in the United States are contained in this document. As the basis for a 15-week course by newspaper during the winter and spring of 1978, the articles served as the course "lectures." The articles were written by professors of mass communications, sociology, cinema, journalism, political science, and history; a newspaper columnist; a sports commentator; and a feminist author. They explore the nature of popular culture, popular culture as big business, and major themes that recur in such American institutions as the Hollywood "dream factory," music, sports, and politics. The role of popular culture in political and social change is also explored. Its influence on Americans' choices of life style and leisure pursuits is examined. Each article is preceded by a biographical statement about the author. (Author/AV)

Abstract

The reader is one of several supplementary materials for a 15-week newspaper course about popular culture in the United States. Four major sections contain 57 readings from sources such as monographs, novels, journal articles, and research reports. The readings present research findings, personal observations, and debate over the definition and role of American popular culture. The first section, "What Manner of Mirror," gives a variety of perspectives on the nature of popular culture as a reflection of American society. The subject matter and mode of presentation of movies, television, and advertising are explored. Specific elements such as western movies and disc jockeys are discussed in terms of their influence on the public. In the second section, "Popular Culture and American Institutions," mass media events are reviewed. These include news and sports programs, special events such as the "Roots" television series, rock music, and country and western music. "Popular Culture and Social Change," the third section, examines the effect on the American public of televised and motion-picture images of minority groups; politicians; women; fashion; and life style. The last section, "The Future of Popular Culture," explores the expanding role of technology in the fields of entertainment and communications. (AV)

5. Pop Culture in America.

Author

White, David Manning

Abstract

The nature of today's popular culture, its place in American life, and its merit or lack of it are the themes of these essays from "The New York Times Magazine." Introductory essays discuss the use of leisure time, paying the cost of the arts, and whether American society can be considered "cultured." Subsequent essays discuss the nature of radio and television programing, films, the theater, popular music (from Bob Dylan and the Beatles), pop art, and "Peanuts." (JK)
