When Highbrow Meets Lowbrow: Popular Culture and the Rise of Nobrow 1st ed book

Description: When Highbrow Meets Lowbrow: Popular Culture and the Rise of Nobrowby Peter Swirski and Tero Eljas Vanhanen (eds.)Palgrave Macmillan; 1st ed. 2017 edition (June 29, 2017) This book examines nobrow, a cultural formation that intertwines art and entertainment into an identifiable creative force. In our eclectic and culturally turbocharged world, the binary of highbrow vs. lowbrow is incapable of doing justice to the complexity and artistry of cultural production. Until now, the historical power, aesthetic complexity, and social significance of nobrow “artertainment” have escaped analysis. This book rectifies this oversight. Smart, funny, and iconoclastic, it scrutinizes the many faces of nobrow, throwing surprising light on the hazards and rewards of traffic between high entertainment and genre art. "A smart, sassy, and insightful look at the tension between highbrow and lowbrowculture, and our attempts to traverse the no-man's-land between the two.Popular culture studies has been waiting for this volume." Cynthia J. Miller, Scholar-in-Residence, Emerson College "When Highbrow Meets Lowbrow: Popular Culture and the Rise of Nobrow will have a long shelf life as a vade mecum in a discipline that it itself will help to create."
