-Dominant vs Popular Culture (Stuart Hall): Kultur är något som är dynamiskt och
därför förändras med tiden. Man pratar ofta om skillnaden emellan kultur och society.
Medans kultur är allt ifrån språk, traditioner och musik, så är society institutioner så
som government, police etc. Stuart Hall säger att kultur ständigt förändras, är
dynamiskt och kontinuerlig och i sin artikel försöker han definiera populär kultur och
konsekvenserna ifrån det. Hall delar upp definitionen utav populär kultur i två delar.
Han menar att populär kultur sprider sig fort och är kommersiell. Med dominant
kultur så menar Hall att kultur industrin bestämmer och omorganiserar populär kultur. !
-Social Fields: Social fields are environment which competition between individuals
and between groups take place. By dominant cultures always disorganize and
restructure popular culture to make it more similar to dominant culture. Hall means
that cultural fields are a constant battlefield when it consistently faces resistance,
acceptance, refusal, and capitulation. !
-Consent and resistance: Hall menar att antingen känner du medgivande till populär
kultur eller så känner du motstånd till det. Ofta så delas åsikterna om populär kultur
upp i klasskillnader. Ofta så känner medelklassen consent för populär kultur eller low
culture medans överklassen känner motstånd emot det och oftast gillar mer high
culture.!
