Popular culture involves the organizing of our pleasure, and therefore our values, identities and interests. But at the same time our access to and enjoyment of popular culture depends on a series of political decisions and processes which shape that culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003ePolitics and Popular Culture, \u003c\/i\u003e Street explores the debate about the political character of popular culture between those who see it as a form of manipulation and those who see it as populist self-expression. He argues that such approaches are limited and that we need to alter our perspective on the politics of popular culture. He does this by looking more closely at the ways in which the state organizes the production and consumption of popular culture, and at how political judgements are part of the creation and the pleasures of popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book will be invaluable for students in cultural studies, mass media studies, sociology and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Franklin Street is an American politician and lawyer who served as the 97th Mayor of the City of Philadelphia.
