Politics and Culture
We normally think that popular culture including TV, art, film, style,
advertising and music exist in a separate sphere from town halls, state
houses, courts and the other privileged places where we confront social,
economic and political issues.
PopPolitics is an online magazine that covers the blending of popular and
political culture through commentary, discussions and more. Great content!
