The term “popular culture” is used to describe the kind of literature, music, painting, architecture, and other cultural matter that is produced for mass consumption<\/strong>. Some popular culture turns out to be very sophisticated, but much more popular culture is designed to reaffirm and comfort popular attitudes and tastes, not challenge or examine them. Above all, popular culture usually aims to succeed in the market place. Examples of twenty-first-century popular culture include television programs, feature films, popular music of many kinds, video games, and many other kinds of media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this paper, choose one form of popular culture for analysis. When you choose a type, or genre, be sure that it is a coherent genre; not \u201cpopular music\u201d but, say, \u201csentimental love songs of the 1950s\u201d or \u201cgoth rock of early 1980s\u201d; not \u201ccomic books\u201d but \u201cDisney comics\u201d or \u201cmonster comics\u201d or \u201csuperhero-type comics.\u201d Be sure to select a specific kind of popular culture. Huge genres such as “rap music” or “hip hop” are simply too large for this project. Even more importantly, be sure to select a form of popular culture that you find interesting to begin with. You can choose a topic from a wide variety of material\u2014from comic books and horror movies to TV shows and bumper stickers and magazines, from Nancy Drew<\/em> and Hardy Boys<\/em> to 50 Shades of Grey<\/em>, from <\/em>plays by Neil Simon and Sam Shepard, to Hayao Miyazaki\u2019s animated films and Haruki Murakami\u2019s novels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your object will be to explore the relationship between your chosen piece of popular culture and some social issue such as age, race, gender, class, religion, immigration, etc.<\/strong> You will be forming an argument about this relationship, a central thesis that will be supported by your evidence. Evidence for your argument will come from analysis or descriptions of the popular culture as well as from credible research sources you select. One requirement of the paper is that you use at least five research sources; at least three of those sources have to be peer-reviewed academic texts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please keep in mind that you are not writing a report. You are writing an argumentative paper that includes research and adds to a broader conversation about your chosen topic. You are to add to this conversation by making a claim about your chosen topic. Focus on the development of ideas rather than on the accumulation of quotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
