"Comics, sports, Twitter, cosplay, Netflix--we are all experts in aspects of popular culture, even if we may be beginners to cultural studies. Pop Culture for Beginners is a friendly, readable introduction to popular culture's theoretical approaches. The book shows how cultural theory can be applied to a variety of popular culture manifestations, while also showing how the approaches can be extended to other texts and media. It brings together in one place theoretical approaches and applications, and extends consideration of popular culture to areas neglected in other textbooks--notably fandom, comics, social media, and gaming. Examples, exercises, case studies, and sample essays are included throughout."--
