Cultural studies began as a radical political project, establishing the cultural centrality of everday life and popular culture. In a postmodern world where old uncertainties are undermined and identities fragmented, the way forward for those working with popular culture has become less clear. In contrast to more pessimistic readings of the possibilities of postmodernity, Postmodernism and Popular Culture engages with postmodernity as a space for social change and political transformation.Ranging widely over cultural theory and popular culture, Angela McRobbie looks at everyday life as an ecle
