Slippery Pastimes - Reading the Popular in Canadian Culture. Cultural Studies Series. (Electronic book text)


Sixteen essays, written by specialists from many fields, grapple with the problem of a popular culture that is not very popular - but is seen by most as vital to the body politic, whether endangered by globalisation or capable of politically progressive messages for its audiences. Covers a variety of topics: Canadian popular music from rock 'n' roll to country, hip-hop to pop-Celtic; television; advertising; tourism; sport; and even postage stamps! As co-editors, Nicks and Sloniowski have taken an open view of the Canadian Popular, and contributors have approached their topics from a variety of perspectives, including cultural studies, women's studies, film studies, sociology, and communication studies. The essays are accessibly written for undergraduate students and interested general readers.
