Phenomenological Approaches to Popular Culture

Within popular culture studies, one finds discussions about quantitative sociology, Marxism, psychoanalysis, myth criticism, feminism, and semiotics, but hardly a word on the usefulness of phenomenology, the branch of philosophy concerned with human experience. In spite of this omission, there is a close relationship between the aims of phenomenology and the aims of popular culture studies, for both movements have attempted to redirect academic study toward everyday lived experience.Carroll, Michael Thomas is the author of 'Phenomenological Approaches to Popular Culture' with ISBN 9780879728106 and ISBN 0879728108.
