Fiske: Popular Culture Is "A Site Of Struggle"

Abstract: 4 pages in length. The significance of John Fiske's description of popular culture as "a site of struggle" is how it draws attention to the antisocial aspect of broadly accepted social ethos. Popular culture is such that it serves to define what is not necessarily in the majority interest but rather appealing more to those who comprise the minority. Examining Fiske's statement provides an easy segue between the opposing divisions of society - those who have power and those who do not - and how these components inevitably create conflict. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
