Description: This course treats mainstream pop culture, typically considered low culture or "trash," as an area of study worthy of serious inquiry. We will ready mass-marketed literature, popular TV shows, blockbuster films, and advertisements as texts, meaning we will examine their form/formulas, rhetorical devices, and social and political and content.
