In doing so, she not only demonstrates the practical use of 'high' theory as it relates to our everyday world, but she also investigates the kinds of 'low' culture that are regularly dismissed by academic scholars. Through a close examination of these cultural forms, Brottman reveals how the kinds of popular culture that we usually take for granted are, in fact, far more complex and sophisticated than is normally assumed.Social sciencesCultureStudy and teachingIntellectual lifeHistoryLiteraturePhilosophyCultureStudy and teachingSocial SciencesCultural StudiesIntellectual StudiesLiterary TheoryRegional and Cultural StudiesCultural TheorySocial sciences.CultureStudy and teaching.Intellectual lifeHistory.LiteraturePhilosophy.CultureStudy and teaching.Social Sciences.Cultural Studies.Intellectual Studies.Literary Theory.Regional and Cultural Studies.Cultural Theory.306/.0973Brottman Mikita901141SpringerLink (Online service)BOOK9910451073103321High Theory2014145UNINA
