Decoding Popular Culture, As A Gateway To The Profound
A “Pop-Culture Extrapolation,” in which some artifacts or moments in our culture are revealed to have a more significant meaning than we might think at first glance, and tell us something larger about American society and the human condition (which is, at their heart, what most social sciences strive to do).
This paper will ask you to:
• Analyze individual cultural texts or moments (a film, a song, a novel, an emergent musical genre, a sporting or
entertainment
event, an artist, a new building or public space, etc.) and offer new insights, using analytical frameworks provided by your studies.
• Propose a relationship between two texts/moments as a way of understanding them both better.
• Make connections between the texts/moments and the society that produced them in order to comment on important issues within that society.
