This course examines issues relating to the study of popular culture through consideration of a wide range of media, including music, television, film, fiction, and the internet. One recent seminar focused on celebrity culture, and the role fame plays in American culture, by providing a history of the concept, clarifying the terminological complexities that surround fame, and examining the ways in which popular culture has propagated, reflected, and offered insight into our obsession with fame. Another course focused on popular genre fiction, including Westerns, Crime films, Horror, Sci-fi and Adventure Romance.
