Populärkultur under omprövning

Abstract

In this article Lawrence Grossberg reflects on his own work concerning cultural studies and the formation of rock music. He discusses the social effects and logics of popular culture, especially rock music and youth culture, and a commitment to the possibilities of cultural studies as a form of progressive intellectual work. Cultural studies is an intellectual practice which claims to belong within a collective intellectual enterprise. It challenges not only the boundaries between the disciplines, but more importantly, the boundary between the academy and the world outside.
