An Introduction to Popular Culture in the US

People, Politics, and Power

By: Jenn Brandt,Callie Clare

Winner of the Popular Culture Association's 2018 John G. Cawelti Award for the Best Textbook / Primer What is popular culture? Why study popular culture in an academic context? An Introduction to Popular Culture in the US: People, Politics, and Power introduces and explores the history and contemporary analysis of popular culture in the United States. In situating popular culture as lived experience through the activities, objects, and distractions of everyday life, the authors work to broaden the understanding of culture beyond a focus solely on media texts, taking an interdisciplinary approach to analyze American culture, its rituals, beliefs, and the objects that shape its existence. After building a foundation of the history of popular culture as an academic discipline, the book looks broadly at cultural myths and the institutional structures, genres, industries, and people that shape the mindset of popular culture in the United States. It then becomes more focused with an examination of identity, exploring the ways in which these myths and mindset are internalized, practiced, and shaped by individuals. The book concludes by connecting the broad understanding of popular culture and the unique individual experience with chapters dedicated to the objects, communities, and celebrations of everyday life. This approach to the field of study explores all matters of culture in a way that is accessible and relevant to individuals in and outside of the classroom.

Empire of Influence

The East India Company and the Making of Indirect Rule

By: Callie Wilkinson

Indirect rule is widely considered as a defining feature of the nineteenth and twentieth century British Empire but its divisive earlier history remains largely unexplored. Empire of Influence traces the contentious process whereby the East India Company established a system of indirect rule in India in the first decades of the nineteenth century. In a series of thematic chapters covering intelligence gathering, violence, gift giving and the co-optation of the scribal and courtly elite, Callie Wilkinson foregrounds the disagreement surrounding the tactics of the political representatives of the Company and recaptures the experimental nature of early attempts to secure Company control. She demonstrates how these endeavours were reshaped, exploited and resisted by Indians as well as disputed within the Company itself. This important new account exposes the contested origins of these ambiguous relationships of 'protection' and coercion, while identifying the factors that enabled them to take hold and endure.

The Lantern

Book Three in “The Hidden” Series

By: Callie McFarlane

Despite that we all experience and have to live with the effects of unfairness and injustice as well as random incidents, the difference in outcome can be startling if consistently impelled by one indestructible force: love. It is through love that all of us as “ordinary people” can accomplish “extraordinary things.” The Lantern focuses on some representational lives of women throughout some of the eras of humankind’s past, rooted in historical record. These ordinary women (and many more like them who remain unheralded) accomplished extraordinary things in their lives. I celebrate them! Love never dies. We die. What survives of us is love: the love that emboldens us to choose, respond, and act, making the ordinary into the extraordinary in thought, word, and deed. Love is a lantern casting its light into the dark corners of our existence. With each act of love, the lantern burns brighter and brighter; and the lantern burns bright; and the lantern burns . . . with the unfolding of time into forever.

Physiognomy as a Strategy of Persuasion in Early Christian Discourse

By: Callie Callon

Callie Callon investigates how some early Christian authors utilized physiognomic thought as rhetorical strategy, particularly with respect to persuasion. Callon shows how this encompassed denigrating theological opponents and forging group boundaries (invective against heretics or defence of Christians), self-representation to demonstrate the moral superiority of early Christians to Greco-Roman outsiders, and the cultivation of collective self-identity. The work begins with an overview of how physiognomy was used in broader antiquity as a component of persuasion. Callon then examines how physiognomic thought was employed by early Christians and how physiognomic tropes were employed to “prove” their orthodoxy and moral superiority. Building on the conclusions of the earlier chapters, Callon then focuses on the representation of the physiognomies of early Christian martyrs, before addressing the problem of the acceptance or even promotion of the idea of a physically lacklustre Jesus by the same authors who otherwise utilize traditional physiognomic thought.
