| Publisher Description: Popular culture in the German-speaking world has reacted in numerous ways to the demands of contemporary life, combining century-old traditions but also addressing current political and social debates. The essays collected in this volume offer case studies of popular fiction, theatre, hip-hop and rock music, events like the love parade, as well as describe new developments in documentary filmmaking. Read individually or as a whole, the chapters provide a detailed analysis of both the current issues in popular culture and the legacy of popular art forms throughout the twentieth century. |
