The phrase "Popular Culture" is difficult to pin down. Our organization's list of Subject Areas & Chairs shows the intricacies of the term's meaning. All of the Subject Areas, as diverse as they are, have as their focus one common denominator--the study of the mainstream culture or that which is popular with the masses.

Considerations of the constraints, conditions, and possibilities that subtend media citizenship on radio, television, film, and digital media are encouraged, as are analyses of how citizenship does or does not differ for individuals, communities, and corporations. http://www.cmstudies.org/
