What does it mean? This book is a lively introduction to the study of popular culture through one central case study. It explores the cultural, social and historical contexts of Christmas in the UK, USA and Australia, covering such topics as fiction, film, television, art, newspapers and magazines, war, popular music and carols. Chapters explore the ways in which the production of meaning is mediated by the social and cultural activities surrounding Christmas (watching Christmas films, television, listening or engaging with popular music and carols), its relationship to a set of basic values (the idealised construct of the family), social relationships (community), and the ways in which ideological discourses are used and mobilised, not least in times of conflict, terrorism and war. Key Features Offers an incisive account of the ways in which Christmas relates to social change, and how such recent events as 9/11 and the conflict in Iraq focus attention on traditional themes of community and family. Case studies include A Christmas Carol, Coca-colonisation and Santa Claus, Victorian cartoons and Christmas cards, Dr Who and 'Happy Christmas (War is Over)' Includes 18 B & W illustrations. 606 $aChristmas in popular culture 606 $aChristmas$xSociological aspects 606 $aChristmas$xPolitical aspects 606 $aChristmas in motion pictures 606 $aCarols, English 606 $aChristmas shopping 606 $aChristmas shopping$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00859862 606 $aChristmas in popular culture$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01902789 606 $aCarols, English$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00847734 606 $aChristmas in motion pictures$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00859828 615 0$aChristmas in popular culture. 615 0$aChristmas$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aChristmas$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aChristmas in motion pictures. 615 0$aCarols, English. 615 0$aChristmas shopping. 615 7$aChristmas shopping. 615 7$aChristmas in popular culture. 615 7$aCarols, English. 615 7$aChristmas in motion pictures. 676 $a394.2663 700 $aWhiteley$b Sheila, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01428896 702 $aWhiteley$b Sheila$f1941-2015, 801 0$bCDX 801 1$bCDX 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bN$T 801 2$bYDXCP 801 2$bIDEBK 801 2$bEBLCP 801 2$bSNK 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bE7B 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOTZ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bN$T 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bAUW 801 2$bJSTOR 801 2$bOCLCE 801 2$bDEBSZ 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bCOO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bNLGGC 801 2$bMERUC 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bWAU 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bAZK 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bYDX 801 2$bUKOUP 801 2$bMOR 801 2$bPIFAG 801 2$bZCU 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bIOG 801 2$bEZ9 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bSTF 801 2$bWRM 801 2$bVTS 801 2$bNRAMU 801 2$bICG 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bLVT 801 2$bDKC 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bUKCRE 801 2$bAGLDB 801 2$bVLY 801 2$bUKAHL 801 2$bAJS 801 2$bNLW 801 2$bUKMGB 801 2$bOCLCO 912 $a9910782017603321 996 $aChristmas, ideology and popular culture$93712403 997 $aUNINA
