Abstract:
Questions of Popular Cult(ure) works in the uncomfortable and unclear spaces of popular culture. This thesis demonstrates how cult cauterizes ambiguity and functions as a framing agent for unpopular politics in popular culture. In tracking the flows and hesitations in the postwar period through the rise of the New Right and identity politics, this thesis shows how cult contains moving and malleable meanings that maneuver through everyday life. It is a slippery and slight subject that denies coherent categorization in definitional frames.
This thesis negotiates this liminality by tracking broad social shifts in race, class and gender through textualised traces. The complicated concept of cult is activated within a series of case studies. These chapters are linked together to demonstrate the volatile variance of the cult category.
Section one contextualises the terrain of the intellectual work in this thesis. It paints broad brush-strokes of the postwar period, through an animated intersection of politics and popular culture. The first chapter defines the currency of cult in contemporary times. It is devoted to investigating the relationships between colonisation and popular culture. By pondering postcolonialism, this chapter prises open thirdspace to consider how writing and madness performs proximity in the pre and post-colonial world. The maddening of cargo cults by colonisers in Melanesia operates as a metonym for the regulation of marginal modalities of resistance. In popular culture, this trajectory of insane otherness has corroded, with the subversion of cult being appropriated by fan discourses, as worship has become accountable for the mainstream market.
Chapter two unpacks The X-Files as a text tracking the broad changes in politics through popular culture. This innovative text has moved from marginality into the mainstream, mapping meanings through the social landscape. Consciousness and reflexivity in the popular embeds this text in a cult framework, as it demonstrates the movement in meanings and the hegemonic hesitations of the dominant in colonising (and rewriting) the interests of the subordinate as their own.
Section two creates a dialogue between gendered politics and contemporary popular culture. The changes to the consciousness in masculinity and femininity are captured by Tank Girl, Tomb Raider, Henry Rollins and Spike (from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer). These texts perform the wavering popularity of feminism and the ascent of mens studies in intellectual inquiry. Tank Girl articulates unpopular feminist politics through the popular mode of film. The movement to more mainstream feminism is threaded through the third wave embraced by Tomb Raider that reinscribes the popular paradigms of femininity, via colonisation. The computer game discourse permits a pedagogy of power to punctuate Lara Crofts virtual surfaces and shimmer through the past into the present.
Tracking this historical movement, two chapters on masculinity brew the boom in mens studies questioning of manhood. Henry Rollins is a metonym for an excessive and visible masculinity, in an era where men have remained an unmarked centre of society. His place within peripheral punk performance settles his inversionary identity. Spike from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer demonstrates the contradictions in manhood by moving through the masculine hierarchy to deprioritise men in the public sphere. This is a mobile masculinity in a time where changeability has caused a crisis for men. Both these men embody a challenging and confrontational gender politics. Cult contains these characters within different spaces, at varying times and through contradictory politics.
Section three ponders the place and role of politics at its most persistent and relevant. It demonstrates the consequences for social justice in an era of New Right ideologies. The chapter on South Park mobilises Leftist concerns within an overtly Rightist context, and Trainspotting moves through youth politics and acceleration to articulate movement in resistive meanings.
These case studies contemplate the journey of popular culture in the postwar period by returning to the present and to the dominant culture. The colonisation of identity politics by the New Right makes the place of cultural studies as a pedagogic formation - powerfully important. Colonisation of geographical peripheries is brought home to England as the colonisation of the Celtic fringe is interpreted through writing and resistance.
This thesis tracks (and connects) two broad movements - the shifting of political formations and the commodification of popular culture. The disconnecting dialogue between these two streams opens the terrain for cult. In the hesitations that delay their connection, cult is activated to cauterize this disjuncture.

Hitchin, Linda. "Technological uncertainties and popular culture." Thesis, Brunel University, 2002. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/5247.
Abstract:
This thesis is an inquiry into possibilities and problems of a sociology of translation. Beginning with a recognition that actor network theory represents a sociological account of social life premised upon on recognition of multiple ontologies, interruptions and translations, the thesis proceeds to examine problems of interpretation and representation inherent in these accounts. Tensions between sociological interpretation and social life as lived are examined by comparing representation of nonhuman agency in both an actor-network and a science fiction study of doors. The power identified in each approach varies from point making to lying. A case is made for considering fictional storytelling as sociology and hence, the sociological value of lying. It is by close examination of a fictional story that this study aims to contribute to a sociology of translation. The greater part of the thesis comprises an ethnographic study of a televised children's story. Methodological issues in ethnography are addressed and a case is made for a complicit and multi-site ethnography of story. The ethnography is represented in two particular forms. Firstly, and unusually, story is treated as a Storyworld available for ethnographic study. An actor network ethnography of this Storyworld reveals sociologically useful similarities and differences between fictional Storyworld and contemporary, social life. Secondly, story is taken as a product, a broadcast television series of six programmes. An ethnography of story production is undertaken that focuses attention on production performances, hidden storytellers and politics of authorship. Story is revealed as an unfinished project. A prominent aspect of this thesis is a recognition that fictional storytelling both liberates and constrains story possibilities. This thesis concludes that, in addressing critically important tensions in sociological representation, fictional stories should be included in sociological literature as studies in their own right.

Abstract:
Popular culture helps construct, define, and impact our everyday realities and must be taken seriously because popular culture is, simply, popular. Communication Perspectives on Popular Culture brings together communication experts with diverse backgrounds, from interpersonal communication, business and organizational communication, mass communication, media studies, narrative, rhetoric, gender studies, autoethnography, popular culture studies, and journalism. The contributors tackle such topics as music, broadcast and Netflix television shows, movies, the Internet, video games, and more, as they connect popular culture to personal concerns as well as larger political and societal issues. The variety of approaches in these chapters are simultaneously situated in the present while building a foundation for the future, as contributors explore new and emerging ways to approach popular culture. From case studies to emerging theories, the contributors examine how popular culture, media, and communication influence our everyday lives.https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1131/thumbnail.jpg

Abstract:
Há cerca de uma década a noção de Patrimônio Imaterial vem sendo incorporada às políticas de patrimônio dos Estados latinoamericanos, e também no contexto internacional mais amplo, a partir da Convenção para a Salvaguarda do Patrimônio Imaterial (UNESCO, 2003). Nesta dissertação são analisadas as experiências de identificação e registro de bens culturais desta natureza no Brasil e no México, por meio da apreciação de documentos oficiais produzidos no âmbito desta política, os Dossiês de registro realizados no Brasil e o Inventario del Patrimonio Inmaterial mexicano. Considera-se, a partir do histórico das políticas culturais e da relação entre Estado e cultura popular, que este tipo de reconhecimento tem características específicas na América Latina, configurando as potencialidades e desafios da implementação de tal política neste contexto. Partindo desta preocupação e da análise dos documentos mencionados, foram definidos dois eixos temáticos relacionados, que nortearam a comparação entre Brasil e México. O primeiro deles refere-se aos desdobramentos da ampliação da noção de cultura, que caracteriza este tipo de bem cultural, para as políticas de patrimônio destes países. Verifica-se que tal alargamento resulta na incorporação de tensões sociais igualmente amplas no universo de atenção desta área de intervenção estatal. No segundo eixo são privilegiadas questões relativas ao processo de atribuição de valor a estas manifestações, práticas e expressões culturais como patrimônio. Identifica-se a politização deste tipo de reconhecimento, na medida em que tem o sentido de corroborar oficialmente o valor já atribuído a tais bens em seus contextos de produção. Nesse sentido, a partir da documentação oficial são analisados os processos de negociação de critérios e conceitos de valoração, bem como da legitimidade dos sujeitos coletivos, Estado e grupos detentores dos bens culturais, no processo de reconhecimento.For about one decade the notion of Intangible Cultural Heritage is being incorporated within the cultural heritage policies by the Latin American states, and also in an international context, from the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (UNESCO, 2003). In this thesis the experiences of identification and registry of this category of heritage in Brazil and Mexico are analysed, by means of an appreciation of official documents produced within this policy, the Registry Dossiers (Dossiês de registro) made in Brazil and Mexican Inventory of Intangible Heritage (Inventario del Patrimonio Inmaterial). Based on the history of the cultural policies and the relationship between State and popular culture, it is considered that this kind of acknowledgment has specific characteristics in Latin America, setting the potentialities and challenges of the implementation of such politics in this context. Begining by this concern and the analysis of the mentioned documents, two related thematic axes were defined, which guided the comparison between Brazil and Mexico. The first of them refer to the deployment of the widening of the notion of culture, which characterizes this type of cultural heritage, to the heritage policies of these countries. It is verified that such widening results in the incorporation of social tensions, equally broad, within the universe of concern of this area of state intervention. The second axis privilege questions related to the process of attribution of value to cultural manifestations, practices and expressions as heritage. There has been identified the politization of this kind of acknowledgement, as far as it means to corroborate officially the values previously attributed to such heritage in its production context. In this sense, as of the official documentation an analysis is developed about the process of negociation of criteria and concepts of valuing, as well as the legitimacy of collective beings, State anda other groups of holders of cultural heritage in its recognition process.

Abstract:
Brazilian telenovelas have always been very popular in Portugal but in the last years this popularity is decreasing. It seems Portuguese audiences prefer Portuguese telenovelas instead. Why is this so? Within the context of the relationship between Portugal and Brazil, Portuguese identity and theories of cultural exchange and cultural appropriation, this essay, through interviews to ten different subjects, tries to analyse why this is happening.

Abstract:
Herança basicamente portuguesa, as festas religiosas no Brasil ganharam contornos populares, sendo de grande importância para a formação da cultura popular e para a identidade nacional. Em Ilhabela, litoral norte do Estado de São Paulo, a Festa de São Benedito que tem com ponto máximo a apresentação da Congada de São Benedito vem sendo realizada há mais de cento e cinquenta anos, sem nunca ter sido interrompida. Esta festa recebeu grande influência africana e não se tornou mero entretenimento, mantendo sua tradição como uma manifestação de grande religiosidade popular, onde o sagrado e o profano estão interligados em uma demonstração de fé e solidariedade que atravessa gerações e se constitui em significativo patrimônio imaterial brasileiro. Deve-se compreender que não só o governo deve atuar como co-responsável no comprometimento pela preservação e salvaguarda desse bem cultural, mas também toda a comunidade local, verdadeira detentora do saber e da qual depende a efetiva prática da transmissão para as futuras gerações. Neste trabalho foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica e exploratória, buscando-se um referencial teórico para a compreensão e elucidação dos fatos, sem desprezar o registro da memória coletiva obtido através de entrevistas abertas realizadas com os detentores da festa.Inheritance basically Portuguese, the religious parties in Brazil, earn popular profile, being very important to the popular culture development and national identity. In Ilhabela, north coast of São Paulo State, São Beneditos Party which has as a culminating point the São Beneditos Congada has being realized an hundred fifty years ago, without any interruption. This party received great African influence and didnt become a simple entertainment, keeping its tradition as a manifestation of great popular religiosity, where the sacred and the profane were connected in a faith and solidarity proof, which passes along generations and consists of a Brazilian immaterial patrimony. We must understand that not only the government must acts as the responsible under an engagement for the preservation and safeguard of this cultural resource, but also the whole local community, the truth owner of the knowledge and from whom depend the effective practice on the transmission for the future generations. This study realized a bibliographic and inquiry research, looking for a theoretic reference to the understanding and elucidation of the facts, without despising the collective memory register obtained through opened interviews made with the party owners.

Santos, João Rafael Coelho Cursino dos. "A cultura como protagonista do processo de reconstrução da cidade de São Luiz do Paraitinga/SP." Universidade de São Paulo, 2015. http://www.teses.usp.br/teses/disponiveis/8/8138/tde-11042016-105654/.
Abstract:
A cidade de São Luiz do Paraitinga, localizada no Vale do Paraíba, estado de São Paulo, nos primeiros dias do ano de 2010, foi atingida pela maior inundação de sua história. As águas do rio Paraitinga subiram aproximadamente doze metros acima de seu leito habi-tual, causando a destruição de grande parte do patrimônio histórico arquitetônico e causando diversos prejuízos à população atingida. O processo de reconstrução da cidade foi marcado por ter a cultura local como pro-tagonista que, em diversas situações obrigou o poder público e os órgãos de preservação do patrimônio histórico a reverem projetos pré-concebidos e contemplar a identidade local como objetivo primordial. Para estudar a cultura popular protagonizando o processo de reconstrução de São Luiz do Paraitinga, primeiramente apresentei o lugar que a memória e as manifestações da cultura popular têm na construção da identidade da cidade. Diretamente envolvido no pro-cesso que também era meu objeto de estudo, coletei uma rica documentação que, com minha vivência, fundamentou a análise apresentada. Nela, ressalto o lugar central que o modo de viver dos moradores ocupou em diferentes momentos ligados à tragédia ocorrida, às ações voltadas para a retomada da normalidade e à reconstrução do que havia sido destruído. A experiência trouxe contribuições relevantes não só para a vida pública de São Luiz do Parai-tinga, como para a reflexão acerca das situações resultantes de tragédias que alteram a vida de cidades, transformando completamente seu cotidiano e envolvendo ações e relações ex-cepcionais de órgãos públicos, entidades coletivas e da população.The city of Sao Luiz do Paraitinga, located in the Paraiba Valley, State of Sao Paulo, in the first days of calendar year 2010, was hit by the biggest flood in its history. The waters of the river Paraitinga rose about twelve meters above its usual riverbed, causing destruction of a great portion of the architectural heritage and causing several damages to the affected population. The process of reconstruction of the city had the local culture in a leading role since in various situations the government and agencies responsible for national heritage preser-vation were forced to review pre-designed projects and contemplate the identity of that community as an essential goal. In order to study this leadership of popular culture in the process of rebuilding São Luiz do Paraitinga, I first brought up the significance that memory and expressions of pop-ular culture have for the identity of the town. Directly involved in the process, which was also my object of study, I collected rich documentation that along with my experience jus-tified the analysis presented. In that analysis, I highlight the main role that peoples life-style played in different moments which are linked to the tragedy that occurred, to the ac-tions taken to return to normality and to the reconstruction of what had been destroyed. The experience brought significant contributions, not only to the people of Sao Luiz do Paraitinga, but also to the understanding of situations resultant from disasters that change the living conditions in cities, completely transforming its daily routines as well as the practices of governmental and collective agencies and the population.

Resumo: A arte popular ocupa um lugar social específico no âmbito das produções e estudos do campo da Arte ocidental. Com base nessa conjuntura, esta pesquisa busca compreender possibilidades de aproximação e afastamento entre a "arte" e o "popular", analisando cruzamentos, distanciamentos e convergências, a fim de identificar diferentes perspectivas para relacionar-se com estudos sobre o tema. Para tal, observa-se a produção cerâmica da comunidade artesã Associação de Cerâmica Comunitária Nossa Senhora de Fátima da Barra (BA) como estudo de caso para discutir a proposição do curador e crítico de arte paraguaio Ticio Escobar sobre o termo "arte popular" como teoricamente híbrido. A cidade da Barra situa-se no Oeste Baiano, precisamente no ponto onde se encontram o rio Grande e o rio São Francisco, condição fundamental para o desenvolvimento da atividade cerâmica nesta região. Estabelece-se uma relação de homologia ao conceito de campo proposto por Pierre Bourdieu a fim de compreender a forma de atuação dos principais agentes dos microcosmos da arte culta e da arte popular. Tendo como referência a tensão de conceitos e nomenclaturas utilizados há tanto tempo nos estudos e na produção de arte, esta investigação discute maneiras de enfrentar os desafios estéticos e sociais que se apresentam aos nossos tempos
Abstract: Popular art occupies a specific social position in the productions and studies of the art field. From this circumstance, this research seeks to understand possibilities of approach and deviation between art and popular, analyzing crossings, diversions and convergences, in order to identify different perspectives to establish contact with the mentioned subject. In this sense, we can observe the ceramic production of the artisan community Associação de Cerâmica Comunitária Nossa Senhora de Fátima from Barra-Bahia as a case study to discuss the proposition of the curator and art critic Ticio Escobar about the term popular art as theoretically hybrid. The city of Barra is located at the west of Bahia, precisely at the point where the Grande river the São Francisco river meet. The existence of these rivers is a fundamental condition for the development of ceramic activity in this region. I make a homology to the concept of field proposed by Pierre Bourdieu in order to understand how the main agents of the microcosms of erudite art and popular art act. From the tension of the concepts and nomenclatures used so long in the production and studies of art, this research discusses ways to face the aesthetic and social challenges that present themselves to our times

Abstract:
Japanese presence on the global cultural market has steadily been increasing throughout the last decades. Fan-communities all over the world are celebrating the Japanese culture and cultural identity no longer seems bound to the local. This thesis is an empirical study which aims to examine the transnational flow of Japanese popular culture into Sweden. The author addresses the issue with three research questions; what unique dimensions could be ascribed to Swedish anime-fandom, what is appealing about Japanese popular culture and how is it influencing fan-audiences? To enable deeper understanding of the phenomenon, a qualitative research consisting of semi-structured telephone-interviews and questionnaires, was conducted with Swedish fans of Japanese popular culture. The results presented in this thesis indicate that the anime-community in Sweden possesses several unique dimensions, both in activities surrounding Japanese popular culture and consumption and habits. Japanese popular culture fills a void that seems to exist in domestic culture. It is different, and that is what is appealing to most fans. Anime and manga have inspired fans to learn about the Japanese culture, in some cases, Japanese popular culture has in a way “japanized” fans – making them wish they were born in Japan.

Abstract:
This paper explores the psychological concept of identity and how popular culture may be used as a theme in art therapy for exploring and repairing life story. The literature review defines identity from varying perspectives with emphasis on awareness of parallels between popular culture and the client’s personal story. These parallels may offer art therapists a framework of images and memories useful specifically to exploring identity development with clients. The case study places client’s identity into the context of popular culture unique to the experiences of the client at varying life stages.

Abstract:
SammanfattningBarn möter idag populärkultur både i leksaksaffärerna och klädesaffärerna men även i TV-reklamen. Populärkulturella leksaker blir något barnen har ett gemensamt fokus till och skapar gemenskap kring. Leksakerna kan därför bidra till att barns tankar och kunskaper i förskolan blir till ett gemensamt intresse. Barns erfarenheter bildas till stor del i förskolan där de tillbringar mycket tid. Förskolan blir därför en social och kulturell mötesplats där barns intressen kan tas tillvara. Vårt arbete syftar därför till att studera hur pedagoger förhåller sig till och arbetar med populärkultur i förskolan. Undersökningen behandlar också hur pedagogerna uppdateras inom barns populärkultur. Studien genomsyras av den sociokulturella teorin vilken framhåller att människan lär i samspel med andra. Vi har i vår undersökning använt oss av en kvalitativ metod genom pedagogintervjuer, observationer och löpande anteckningar. Intervjuerna utfördes på två förskolor, två pedagoger från varje förskola deltog.Utifrån resultatet av vår undersökning har populärkultur en självklar och väl etablerad plats på förskolorna vi utgått ifrån. Pedagogerna har en positiv inställning till barns populärkulturella livsvärld. De hanterar populärkulturen på olika sätt och utifrån olika intressen. Populärkulturen som barnen berättar om och visar pedagogerna, är fokus för det förhållningssätt pedagogerna har till att uppdatera sig i ämnet. De säger att de följer upp barnens uttryck om fenomenet populärkultur även på eget initiativ. Pedagogerna säger sig vilja utgå ifrån barnens intressen och behov på olika sätt, vilket är avgörande för hur de väljer att arbeta. Skillnaderna är att pedagogerna på den ena förskolan använder populärkulturellt lekmaterial i den fria leken, medan pedagogerna på den andra förskolan använder materialet både i den fria leken och som medel i lärandesituationer. Undersökningen visar hur pedagogernas personliga viljor och intressen, samt de förutsättningar som finns avgör hur populärkulturen hanteras i förskoleverksamheterna.

A Queimada da Palhinha, prática cultural tradicional que encerra o ciclo natalino do catolicismo popular brasileiro, permanece acontecendo na comunidade de Palmares, em Simões Filho, Bahia. É uma festa religiosa popular, centenária nesta região do entorno de Salvador, que em meados do século XX sofreu grandes transformações, com o avanço da urbanidade e da industrialização. Um breve apanhado histórico das celebrações em homenagem ao Senhor Deus Menino na Europa e no Brasil – pastoris, lapinhas, presepes, queimadas da palhinha – a partir do século XVI realiza a contextualização da festa em estudo num universo mais amplo. A descrição de aspectos da celebração de Palmares busca destacar os diálogos entre a tradição e a modernidade e compreender as suas atuais configurações. O samba de roda é importante na análise da permanência desta Queimada da Palhinha. Levando em conta elementos da globalização cultural contemporânea, o escopo maior desta pesquisa é perceber os fatores que configuram a existência atual da festa, os novos sentidos produzidos, o lugar contemporâneo que a festa ocupa na atual comunidade de Palmares e a liminaridade deste grupo de ética e imaginário camponeses. As abordagens teóricas sobre cultura, cultura popular, globalização cultural, religião e liminaridade na colonialidade moderna, permitem constituir o terreno teórico que fundamenta a análise da permanência desta festa nos dias atuais. A festa religiosa tradicional, local, historicamente periférica e rural, hoje na liminaridade em vários sentidos, não vem conseguindo dialogar com vetores do capitalismo global, não conseguiu traduzir a alteridade nem se traduzir para o outro. Esta festa ainda pode existir? O presente estudo busca refletir estas questões levando em consideração os embates entre a homogeneização cultural e a diferença cultural contemporâneas. O papel das políticas públicas – especialmente do Ministério da Cultura/Governo Federal –, das redes culturais e das ONGs no Brasil contemporâneo é importante na discussão da valorização e da reprodução destas práticas.

Abstract:
This thesis intends to analyze the logics of representation of contemporary femininity in the popular imagery that has instrumentalized feminism. Such is the case of the transmedia narrative The Twilight Saga, the cultural franchise of 50 Shades of Grey, and TV fiction Girls. All of these cultural products have earned an important position in contemporary cultural consumption, invite a form of cultural participation closely linked to the consumer industry, and propose female ideals characterized by a strong sentiment of freedom of choice. However, these ideals are inserted within an androcentric, heteronormative discourse that redirects femininity toward a traditional narrative order. In my analysis we will point out how, under the illusion of a free and autonomous social participation, a meritocratic system of social regulation where feminist criticism stands out as redundant is legitimized. I analyze how the neoliberal economic and socio-cultural project, which develops the idea of an (allegedly) democratic society, promotes the illusion that women enjoy a high social participation and visibility from which they can construct their cultural identity, celebrating feelings of freedom, choice, and female empowerment.

Abstract:
A Festa em Louvor à Nossa Senhora do Rosário é uma parte da identidade de moradores do interior de Goiás no Brasil, mais especificamente da cidade de Catalão. A Festa é realizada, primeiro apenas por descendentes de escravos, que usavam a festa para manterem vivas suas tradições no espaço do outro, o colonizador; anos mais tarde, para firmar-se na cidade, os dançadores que eram em sua maioria pobres que lutavam todos os anos, não apenas para sobrevier, mas também para fazer a festa na cidade do outro, levar seus grupos à Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário. A Festa sobrevive através da religiosidade, da Congada e do comércio na/da festa, aqui analisado na feira as barraquinhas. Mais tarde, tornou-se uma festa de todos, com interesses diversos. É uma festa com dimensões sagradas e profanas onde observa-se o embate entre o global e o local, bem como as estratégias que aqueles que fazem a Festa têm que adotar para continuar existindo. É uma festa social, espetacularizada e em processo de mercadificação, de apropriação do trabalho de homens e mulheres, alienando-os em suas práticas festivas. A prática socioespacial da Festa do Rosário justifica a realização dessa pesquisa pela contribuição para uma Geografia Urbana que seja parte de um projeto do direito à cidade para todos. A festa é um direito dos que a fazem e dos que hoje acompanham-na, seja para rezar, para dançar na Congada ou para comprar nas barraquinhas. As transformações, as persistências e as deteriorações mostram a resistência dessa prática festiva às estratégias do econômico na reprodução da cidade para a troca capitalista, revelando a cidade para a reprodução da vida, da troca, do encontro, da fé e da cultura popular.The party in honour of Nossa Senhora is a part of the identity of people that live in the state of Goiás in Brazil, more specifically in Catalão. The festival is held, first only by descendants of slaves, who used the party to maintain their traditions in space of the others, the colonizer, years later, to establish himself in the city, the dancers who were mostly poor who fought all year, not only to survive but also to \"make the party\" in the city of another, take their groups to the Church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário. The Feast survives through the religiosity of the Congada and the trade to / from the party, party of all, with diverse interests. It\'s a party with dimensions sacred and profane where there is the clash between the global and local like as the strategies that those, who make the festival must take to continue to exist. This is a social process of trade and appropriation of the men and women work, alienating them in their celebration practice. The socioespacial practice of Festa do Rosário, justifies the realization of this research into contributing to the Urban Geography one that will be part of a project to give the right to a city of everyone. The party is a right to the people that make it and to the people that follow it, only for praying, for dancing in the Congada, or just for buying in the barraquinhas. The changes, the persistence and deterioration show us the resistance of this festive practice strategies to the economic reproduction of the city to the capitalist exchange, revealing the city for the reproduction of life, of exchanging, of understanding, of faith and popular culture.

PhD thesis, Murdoch University, 1996. https://researchrepository.murdoch.edu.au/id/eprint/50714/.
Abstract:
For over forty years since 1949, the People's Republic of China adapted to a unified and homogeneous "revolutionary cultural" identity that was deeply inscribed with communism and socialist ideals, which was located in a fixed relationship to the culture of the past and the culture of the West. The emergence of an elite culture in the 1980s and then a popular culture in the 1990s were significant historical breakthroughs. It not only highlighted the changes in the co-existence of different cultural domains but also, more significantly, provided sites for new discourses of elite culture and popular culture.
This study argues that China's cultural identity has become an arena of multiple identities rather than a singular subjectivity. In terms of contemporary cultural value and authority, and their relation to social power, there are at least three distinct cultural spheres representing different cultural forces in the national community: elite culture, popular culture and official culture. This new division in the contemporary cultural field not only deconstructs the powerful single, unified "revolutionary Chinese culture", but also reflects and generates conflicts of value and belief as between the Chinese authorities, intellectuals and ordinary people; more than that, it urges a renegotiation of contemporary Chinese cultural (and national) identity and China's official cultural policy.
Therefore, whether the blend of the three cultures - elite culture, popular culture and official culture - can co-exist harmoniously in future with an encroaching "Western" and "modern" culture is a question with no answer yet. It is possible that if the open policy and reforms of the past decade which have made possible such a variety of China's cultural life continue, China, facing the age of popular culture in the 21st century, will gradually move towards the global order of communication, towards cultural heterogeneity, if not fragmentation.

Abstract:
Cette recherche vise à analyser la organisation et réorganisation des groupes culturels
populaires. Mes sujets et interlocuteurs sont des groupes de danse de Saint Gonçalo
situés entre les villes de Buritizeiro et de Várzea da Palma et des groupes de Folias de
Reis entre les villes de Pirapora et São Francisco. Il s'agit de gérer la création de la
représentation des formes de culture populaire de toutes sortes (traditionnel, du
patrimoine, etc.) par ces acteurs-auteurs dans leurs relations et leurs dialogues auprès de
différentes instances et personnes de la société civile : les institutions, les agences
locales et le gouvernement, etc. Auprès d'eux et grâce à leurs confidences, j'ai tenté de
mieux comprendre comment ils développent différentes stratégies: comment préserver
les racines de leurs traditions d'origine; comment certains groupes succombent et
disparaissent pratiquement dans ces « temps nouveaux»; comment certains groupes
également traditionnels et locaux à l'origine, «entrent vers la modernité» (ou
«postmodernité») tout en préservant le contexte de leurs performances rituelles. Je vais
élaborer pour bien conceptualiser le par et le pour le peuple pour ensuite présenter
comment se fait la représentation. Suivra une réflexion sur les concepts de culture, la
culture populaire et le patrimoine culturel. Je compte parmi les acteurs : Raymond
Williams, Michel de Certeau, Carlos Brandão, Terry Eagleton, les discours et les
témoignages de guides et Santos Reis et fêter, danseurs et musiciens de Saint
Gonçalo. Chacun des groupes a cherché une façon de conserver les traditions et s'est
ouvert aux innovations de protection, certains allant même accepter des subventions
provenant d'entités extérieur à la communauté tel que l État ou des entreprises privées.
Alors que certains groupes restent organisés en fonction de leurs modèles plus
traditionnels et communautaires, d'autres ont suivi la tendance de plus en plus
"moderne" d'institutionnaliser les normes et standards officiels moins importants ou
seconds.Esta pesquisa objetiva analisar as diferentes estratégias de arranjos e re-arranjos de grupos tradicionais de cultura popular no que tange à gestão de suas criações e representações, através da ação de seus autores-atores. Meu foco recai sobre como os autores-atores de cultura popular dialogam entre agentes diretos de criação, as diferentes instituições, pessoas da sociedade civil, do mundo agenciador local e do poder público. Para tanto, meus sujeitos e interlocutores foram grupos de Dança de São Gonçalo entre as cidades de Buritizeiro e Várzea da Palma, e grupos de Folias de Reis entre as cidades de Pirapora e São Francisco. Junto a eles e a partir de seus depoimentos procurei compreender como eles procuram, através de diferentes estratégias, e aprendem a gerenciar o que eles criam e apresentam, de modo a preservarem o contexto de suas representações rituais e a ampliar o contexto social de suas apresentações. Tratarei aqui dos caminhos entre o fazer do povo e o fazer para o povo, do apresentar e do representar, a partir de uma reflexão sobre os conceitos de cultura, cultura popular e patrimônio cultural. Baseio-me em autores como Raymond Williams, Michel de Certeau, Carlos Brandão, Terry Eagleton, assim como nas falas e depoimentos dos guias e foliões de Santos Reis e tocadores e dançadores de São Gonçalo com quem estive e pesquisei. Veremos que cada um dos grupos, sobretudo através de seu dirigente, buscou um caminho próprio, entre fincar o pé na mais pura tradicionalidade mineira, e o abrirse a inovações e/ou à proteção e ao subsídio de entidades de fora. Alguns grupos mantiveram-se organizados segundo os seus padrões mais tradicionais e comunitários, na mesma medida em que outros seguiram a tendência crescentemente moderna de se institucionalizarem segundo normas e padrões oficiais.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the ways in which English is used to produce and reproduce new meanings and identities in the Japanese context. The study of language contact with English in Japan is far from new in Japanese sociolinguistics, and a number of studies have been conducted in this area. However, I argue that previous studies are marked by two main oversights: firstly, previous studies were conducted on data collected from limited genres; secondly, in the previous studies, English was examined on the basis of a restricted contact setting. Thus, the earlier studies provided a limited view of the ways in which the use of English functions in the Japanese context, overlooking the variety of the ways in which new meanings and identities are created. This study provides a more comprehensive picture of the ways in which the use of English functions performatively within the Japanese setting. It does this by conducting three case studies on data collected from three largely overlooked genres of Japanese popular culture, namely Japanese rap, manga, and a Japanese online Bulletin Board System website (BBS). Drawing on the theoretical framework based on the concepts of globalisation and performativity (Pennycook, 2007), this study focuses on the dynamic process by which English is embedded and re-embedded in local contexts within Japanese popular culture. Accordingly, it highlights the ways in which the use of English performatively creates and recreates new meanings and identities. This thesis argues that the process in which English is embedded is multidimensional within the Japanese context, and that this process corresponds to the ways in which English is performative in constructing multidimensional identities. Furthermore, viewing the use of language as a 'transmodal performance' (Pennycook, 2007), this study examines how the use of English works performatively in parallel with other modes of performative act, such as singing and drawing pictures.

Ferguson, Galit. "Watching families : parenting, reality television and popular culture." Thesis, University of East London, 2009. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.532891.
Abstract:
This interdisciplinary thesis provides a contemporary-historical, psychoanalytically inflected study around family-help reality television programmes. The combination of psychoanalytic and discursive perspectives, and the focus on popular cultural texts positions this as a psychocultural study. Focussing on Supernanny, Honey We're Killing the Kids and House of Tiny Tearaways, engagements with theses hows and issues around parenting on the web, and policy representational texts, I argue that such programmes and surrounding texts articulate a set of `affective discourses' that are also present in theoretical writing and representations about family and/or reality television. These discourses are often reactionary, and always paradoxical. The programmes in question can be regarded as an anxious distillation of ideological and emotional contradictions, a remediation of parenting and family which fans the very anxieties it purports to soothe. A study of `web audiencing' alongside a close analysis of both theoretical and televisual texts allows an unravelling of the contradictory elements of this `family-help' phenomenon, and its connections with class, shame, and fantasies of the split good/bad parent and child. The thesis begins by examining the cultural context for such concerns by providing a contemporary-historical psychocultural analysis of the UK family as a social and cultural construction in the late 200' and early 21" centuries. Through a focus on the concept of family as a psychosocial construction and the varied attempts to grapple with it in the media, this thesis also shows that ideology and affect are inextricable, especially when they seem furthest apart. This thesis offers a nuanced picture of familial discourses and related affects in contemporary Britain. It also contributes an original psychocultural analysis of popular media, incorporating a refiguring of the media audience in its work on `web audiencing', a psychoanalytically inflected yet materially contextualised textual analysis of reality television shows which do not often garner close textual attention, and a strong argument for a multiperspectival psychocultural perspective in media and popular cultural analysis.

Abstract:
Within this thesis I explore what can be achieved when culture is critically assessed through a series of theories that mobilise a spatial imaginary. I place the concepts of atmosphere, connection, site and encounter, and theories of emergence via terms such as movement, practice and embodiment, into tension with a single case study: Goth. Goth is a music based grouping, emerging from Punk, New Romantic, Indie and Glam Rock style and music cultures in the late 1970s, with a significant near-global presence in the popular culture industries and links to several salient media controversies; including the Columbine High School massacre, the murder of Sophie Lancaster, and fears over self-harm and suicide. I specifically draw on the vocabularies from within non-representational geographies of performance, relational materiality, affect and social anxiety to re-work understandings of this collectivity. I question what is involved in the material practices of Goth, explore how the practice and experience of Goth is articulated through specific sites, examine how Goth participates in the production and circulation of cultures of anxiety or (un)popularity; and reconsider the concept of ‘subculture’. To do so, I employ a range of methodologies, from guided walks to photo-diaries, within multi-site field research throughout the UK, Tokyo and New York City. I conclude that Goth and culture more generally can be theorised in a number of ways: it emerges as a performed series of embodied acts; it is co-produced in complex relations with non-humans; it can be thought of as a series of modulating affective atmospheres; it coalesces as a collectivity and circulates through events; and it is co-produced through sites and media events. None of these dominates over or diminishes the other; rather they are co-constitutive and interdependent.

Abstract:
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine four teachers’ of English perceptions of the use of CPCE in their teaching. When reading the control documents of the Swedish school, indications pointing towards the use of CPCE texts in teaching were found. Therefore we took an interest in finding out how teachers choose to implement CPCE in their teaching. We have combined the methods of semi structured qualitative interviews and the use of a focus group to gather the data needed. Our main findings consist of how the concept of popular culture is understood by our informants. They find the concept vast as it entails such a broad variety of texts such as TV shows, film, the Internet, magazines and literature. Teachers select appropriate CPCE materials with regards to their pupils’ preferences. However, our findings of how these materials are implemented in their teaching of English vary and are to be considered limited.

Resumo: O desenvolvimento do trabalho teve como ponto central o exame do conceito de "nacionalpopular" na obra do pensador italiano Antonio Gramsci, com destaque para a sua produção carcerária. Foi, portanto, a partir dos Quaderni del Carcere que se buscou compreender toda a complexidade de tal elemento conceitual. Com a presente pesquisa, o projeto de nação do autor italiano surgiu em sua ampla riqueza teórica, revelando que o seu entendimento se coloca como uma chave bastante importante para a compreensão da questão nacional contemporânea. Suas reflexões sobre esse assunto, certamente, estão entre as mais significativas do século XX. E, justamente, por isso, não podem deixar de ser apreendidas em profundidade. Por meio da relação entre o "nacional" e o "popular", Antonio Gramsci busca recriar o entendimento que se tem sobre as classes populares e também busca indicar uma nova forma de se relacionar com os subordinados.
Abstract: The reaserch development had as its central point the exam of the "popular national" concept in the work of the Italian thinker Antonio Gramsci, with remarks to his production in prison. Through Quaderni del Cárcere, this work seeks to understand all the complexity of that conceptual element. With the current research, the nation project of the Italian author emerged in its broad theoretical wealth, revealing that its understanding is a very important key to grasp the contemporary national question. His reflections about this subject are, certainly, among the most significant in the 20th century. And, precisely for that, they must be understood in their depth. Through the relationship between the "national" and the "popular", Antonio Gramsci tries to recreate the understanding about the working classes and he also seeks to indicate a new way of relationship with the subordinates.

Resumo: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar a dança como arte da memória e expressa em corpos que dançam. Reconstruímos danças populares de Goiás quase que 'esquecidas', presentes apenas na memória de antigos moradores da região de Santa Cruz, cidade do Estado de Goiás. Temos como foco a perspectiva da história oral, priorizando a utilização de fontes orais, bem como, o registro de imagens. A inter-relação com a comunidade manifesta-se como condição fundamental para se apreender os modos, as histórias, os movimentos, as dramaturgias que marcam estes cotidianos e sua arte. Estas danças resistem como fragmentos, na memória de antigos moradores e sem registros ofi ciais. Continuam vivas na tradição da oralidade, mais particularmente, na memória do corpo, já que não são mais dançadas. Foram danças aprendidas em festas rurais locais, realizadas nos salões das fazendas da região. Entre os mutirões e pagodes, estas danças e cantos tinham intuito de agregar, coletivizar experiências, ancorando-se nas trocas e nas relações afetivas, sociais e culturais. Ao longo dos anos foram proibidas e/ou desprezadas pela modernidade capitalista. A metodologia desenvolvida envolveu o registro pela escrita, pela imagem e pela experiência vivida, formando uma rede de significações. Nossa intenção foi olhar para o corpo como um texto múltiplo e constituído de história, memória, cultura e arte. São tiranias e poesias inscritas no cotidiano e na dança. É a presença de uma multiplicidade de diálogos e uma dança apresentada como campo de conhecimento polissêmico. Nosso referencial teórico dialoga com diversos autores, entre eles Portelli, Olga Von Simson, Walter Benjamin, entre outros
Abstract: The present work has as an objective to present the dance as art memory, memory held within the bodies that dance, and for this purpose the folk popular dances of Goiás were reconstructed; these popular â?¿forgottenâ?? dances take place only in the memory of the dwellers of Santa Cruz, a small town in the state of Goiás. The focus is the perspective of the oral history, with prior use of oral sources and the images records. The interrelation with the community fl ourishes as a mandatory condition to apprehend the manners, the stories, the movements, the drama that mark their daily routine and its art. These dances linger in the memory of the elders; there are no systematic records, they are kept alive in their oral tradition, more particularly in the bodiesâ?¿ memory, since they havenâ?¿t danced them for ages. Were dances learned in the local parties, carried through in the farms of the region. Between the mutirões and pagodes, these dances and chanting had the intention of creating a collectivizing experiences, anchoring themselves in the exchanges and the affective, social and cultural relations. Throughout the years they had been forbidden and/or rejected by capitalist modernity. Our methodology involves registering the long lived lore experience by the images and the language written, building a network of meaningful information. The intention is to look to the body as a multiple text made of history, lore, memory, culture and art; it is the various dialogs and dances in the fi eld of polissitemic knowledge that matters. They are tyrannies and poetry inscribed in the daily routine and in dance. The theory referential points of this work dialogs with various authors such as Portelli, Olga Von Simson, Walter Benjamin, among others

Abstract:
Uma manifestação da cultura popular Brasileira é a razão de interesse em nossa pesquisa: o Bumba Meu Boi da cidade de São Paulo. Tal folguedo existe no Brasil desde aproximadamente o século XVII, surgindo primeiramente nas regiões do nordeste brasileiro. Hoje é uma das manifestações culturais mais populares entre as existentes em nosso país. Dentre todas as regiões onde o Boi é tematizado, o foco de nosso estudo é o Boi do Grupo Cupuaçu, Boi do Morro do Querosene, localizado na cidade de São Paulo, bairro do Butantã. Região esta que apresenta e comemora o folguedo inspirado no Bumba Meu Boi do Maranhão. Os festejos acerca do Boi que acontecem no Morro do Querosene envolvem não só os brincantes que são integrantes do Boi, como toda a comunidade ali presente: moradores, comerciantes e também o público que participa prestigiando os eventos. Nossa pesquisa teve como objetivo geral compreender a encenação do folguedo do Bumba Meu Boi realizado pelo Grupo Cupuaçu na cidade de São Paulo, como forma de identidade dos brincantes com sua terra natal de onde tal manifestação é oriunda; e como objetivos específicos procuramos a- delimitar a compreensão sobre identidade cultural na ótica dos Estudos Culturais, entendendo que ela não é permanente, e é reconstruída a partir das vivências dos sujeitos em determinado contexto sócio-histórico; b- identificar o processo constituinte do Bumba Meu Boi enquanto manifestação presente no período festivo do ciclo junino no Brasil, atrelado à um conjunto de influencias da miscigenação do povo brasileiro (indígena, africana e portuguesa), e do catolicismo jesuítico. Enquanto metodologia, trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo qualitativa, num caráter exploratório. Serão utilizados os enfoques bibliográfico e de campo. Para a pesquisa de campo optou-se pela aplicação do estudo de caso, utilizando como instrumento de pesquisa a observação em equipe. Conclui-se que os folguedos do Bumba Meu Boi encenados pelo Grupo Cupuaçu sofrem mudanças em sua concepção, devido ao contexto urbano da cidade de São Paulo, exercendo influência direta em sua produçãoOne manifestation of Brazilian popular culture is the reason for interest in our research: Bumba Meu Boi in São Paulo. Such merriment exists in Brazil since about the seventeenth century, first appearing in the regions of northeast Brazil. Today is one of the most popular cultural events between existing in our country. Among all regions where the Ox is thematized, the focus of our study is the Ox Cupuacu Group, Ox of Morro do Querosene, located in São Paulo, district of Butantã. This region that displays and celebrates the merriment inspired by the Bumba Meu Boi about Maranhão. The festival happening in the Morro do Querosene involving not only the revelers who are members of the Ox, as the entire community present there: residents, traders and also the public participating prestige events. Our research goal is to understand the general merriment of the staging of Bumba Meu Boi conducted by Cupuacu Group in São Paulo, as a form of identity of revelers with their homeland where such expression is derived; and specific: a- to delimit the understanding of cultural identity in the perspective of Cultural Studies, understanding that it is not permanent, and is reconstructed from the experiences of the subjects in a particular socio-historical context goals; b- to identify the constituent process of the Bumba Meu Boi while in this festive period junino cycle in Brazil manifestation linked to a set of influences from the miscegenation of the Brazilian people (indigenous, African and Portuguese), and Jesuit Catholicism. As a methodology, it is a qualitative study, an exploratory character. The bibliographic and field approaches will be used. For the field research was chosen application case study, using as a research tool in the observation. We conclude that the mirth of the Bumba Meu Boi staged by Cupuacu Group undergo changes in its design due to the urban context of the city of São Paulo, direct influence on their production
