Call for Panels: »Populäre Kulturen«

A serious interest in academic research on the ›popular‹ arose probably mainly out of the crit- ical consciousness of the »Cultural Studies«, when from the 1960s onwards, ›other‹ aesthetics and practices increasingly caught the attention of scholars. It was particularly the search for cultural artifacts which reproduce social norms and hierarchies in the (mass) media sphere that promoted a first critical examination of advertising or soap operas, of ›trivial‹ literature or com- ics, of television series or pop music. . . .
