Product Description

Product Description
Uncommon Cultures engages with some of the most hotly contested issues of contemporary cultural analysis. Collins clearly explains how the popular and the postmodern are interconnected, and in the process constructs a set of critical paradigms for cultural analysis. Through examining a wide range of cultural forms - including the detective novel, women's films, comic books, performance art and architecture - Collins re-evaluates many current assumptions concerning textual production, subject construction, intertextuality, enunciation theory, and the history of narrative.

From the Back Cover
Jim Collins argues that postmodernism and popular culture have together undermined the master system of "culture." By looking at a wide range of texts and forms he investigates what happens to the notion of culture once different discourses begin to envision that culture in conflicting ways, constructing often contradictory visions of it simultaneously.
