Cultural Studies And The Field Of Popular Culture

Authors : Khedidja Benlabga . Mohaled Hakimi .

Abstract

Cultural criticism has been concerned with the humanities and the study of cultural phenomena, popular culture, mass culture, and marginalized cultures. It has sought to reveal the significant human values inherent in these cultures, giving particular attention to the study of the popular and assigning it special value. Critics have attempted to uncover its structures, as well as its cultural and aesthetic formations, based on an approach that treats culture as a field of study without distinguishing between highbrow and lowbrow texts or favoring one over the other, nor between the popular and the elite.
