Cultural Remix Theories of Politics and the Popular

A glance at current higher education curricula reveals cinema courses in departments of history, and seminars on comics and romantic fiction in contexts stretching from sociology to modern languages. All this signals a new and welcome legitimacy for popular cultural studies. But in its drive to shift the focus from high culture to popular forms, cultural studies has often failed to formulate alternate models of cultural or political value and judgement. Cultural Remix attempts to chart the history of critical efforts to produce a new field of cultural-political engagement, drawing on key articles from New Formations.
