Publisher's Synopsis
Social, cultural and literary engagements demand robust critical, theoretical, and creative interventional observation that promotes learning, research and reform. Given this credence, the book, Visualising Contemporary Popular Culture: Media, Art and Literary Studies, attempts a pioneering approach to studying cultural artefacts such as media, art and literary studies in an attempt to dismantle and deconstruct the term 'popular culture' which has been defined in homogeneous frames since the late twentieth century, into a varying multitude of matrices. Furthermore, the academic articles enclosed attempt to provide a stout critical assessment of how human societies use, abuse, and subvert the aforementioned mediums to voice their struggles and create their meanings and messages, thus, effectively visualising popular culture as a discursive construct. While encompassing the keen and diligent research findings of several research scholars, the book aids in underlining the significant role of research in academic, social as well as, cultural evolution and advancement by positioning itself as a platform for novel perspectives and critical reflections on a variety of topics such as Contemporary World Literature, Pandemic Studies, Media and Cyberspace, Comics and Graphic Studies, Digital Humanities, Film Theory, Myth and Mythology, Cultural Studies.
