Proceeding from their deep political commitment to a new kind of populist grassroots politics, these writers challenge old modes of studying the everyday. As they rework traditional scholarly language, they search for new ways to write about our complex and compelling engagements with the politics and pleasures of popular culture and sketch a new and lively vocabulary for the field of cultural studies.\u003cbr\u003eThe essays cover a wide and colorful array of subjects including pro wrestling, the computer games \u003ci\u003eMyst\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDoom, \u003c\/i\u003e soap operas, baseball card collecting, the Tour de France, karaoke, lesbian desire in the \u003ci\u003eWizard of Oz, \u003c\/i\u003e Internet fandom for the series \u003ci\u003eBabylon 5, \u003c\/i\u003e and the stress-management industry. Broader themes examined include the origins of popular culture, the aesthetics and politics of performance, and the social and cultural processes by which objects and practices are deemed tasteful or tasteless. The commitment that binds the contributors is to an emergent perspective in cultural studies, one that engages with popular culture as the culture that \"sticks to the skin,\" that becomes so much a part of us that it becomes increasingly difficult to examine it from a distance. By refusing to deny or rationalize their own often contradictory identifications with popular culture, the contributors ensure that the volume as a whole reflects the immediacy and vibrancy of its objects of study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHop on Pop\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to those engaged in the study of popular culture, American studies, cultural studies, cinema and visual studies, as well as to the general educated reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors.\u003c\/i\u003e John Bloom, Gerry Bloustein, Aniko Bodroghkozy, Diane Brooks, Peter Chvany, Elana Crane, Alexander Doty, Rob Drew, Stephen Duncombe, Nick Evans, Eric Freedman, Joy Fuqua, Tony Grajeda, Katherine Green, John Hartley, Heather Hendershot, Henry Jenkins, Eithne Johnson, Louis Kaplan, Maria Koundoura, Sharon Mazer, Anna McCarthy, Tara McPherson, Angela Ndalianis, Edward O'Neill, Catherine Palmer, Roberta Pearson, Elayne Rapping, Eric Schaefer, Jane Shattuc, Greg Smith, Ellen Strain, Matthew Tinkhom, William Uricchio, Amy Villarego, Robyn Warhol, Charles Weigl, Alan Wexelblat, Pamela Robertson Wojcik, Nabeel Zuberi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lively travelogue of the 'lively arts, ' Hop on Pop \"cheerfully transcends political, personal, and professional boundaries to offer a sprawling rainbow map of popular culture and exposes those old boundaries for the sneetch-like spooks they truly are.\"--Scott McCloud, cartoonist and author of\" Understanding Comics\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHenry Jenkins is Anne Fetter Friedlaender Professor of Humanities and Director of the Comparative Media Studies Program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
