Saper takes us on an eye-opening tour of the process of cultural invention-willfully entertaining foolish, absurd, even fake, solutions as a way of reaching new perspectives on cultural problems. Saper deploys this method to reveal unsuspected connections among major cultural issues, such as urban decay, the dangers of television's power, family values, and conservative criticism of higher education. 606 $aPopular culture in literature 606 $aAesthetics 615 0$aPopular culture in literature. 615 0$aAesthetics. 676 $a801 700 $aSaper$b Craig J$0802544 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784373503321 996 $aArtificial mythologies$93764527 997 $aUNINA
