One of the world''s most respected
sociologists updates his classic work on public views of popular
and high culture.
Is NYPD Blue a less valid form of artistic expression than a
Shakespearean drama? Who is to judge and by what standards?
In this new edition of Herbert Gans''s brilliantly conceived and
clearly argued landmark work, he builds on his critique of the
universality of high cultural standards. While conceding that
popular and high culture have converged to some extent over the
twenty-five years since he wrote the book, Gans holds that the
choices of typical Ivy League graduates, not to mention Ph.D.s in
literature, are still very different from those of high school
graduates, as are the movie houses, television channels, museums,
and other cultural institutions they frequent.
This new edition benefits greatly from Gans''s discussion of the
"politicization" of culture over the last quarter-century. Popular
Culture and High Culture is a must read for anyone interested in
the vicissitudes of taste in American society.
