AUSTRALIA Summary: "Australia's leisure culture is legendary, and as millions of British viewers of Neighbours, fans of Yothu Yindi or drinkers of Castlemaine XXXX would attest, Australian popular culture is popular outside of Australia. Australian Popular Culture is an exciting collection of essays bringing together new perspectives on the nature and meaning of a nation's changing life. The collection also explores the idea of popular culture at large. Leading authors represent a range of approaches, backgrounds and fields to explore subjects of wide interest within the categories of 'the everyday', 'the mass media' and 'critical theory'. Chapters are devoted to the Aussie Back Yard; Vegemite; postage stamps; Australian Rules football; the introduction of television; Crocodile Dundee; The Lindy Chamberlain Affair; Spycatcher; Domesticity, leisure and love and Postmodernism and Australian Culture." -Publisher description.Notes: 2 folded leaves inserted into back of book, entitled "Australian historical studies, style sheet for book reviewers"; Some text highlighted pages 66-76ISBN: 0521466679Contents: Introduction -- Part I.

Fan cultures London: Routledge, 2002.
Call No: 465.2HILAuthor: Hills, Matt Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: RoutledgePubDate: 2002PhysDes: 237 p. ; 23 cmSubject: POPULAR CULTURE AND THE CINEMA ; POPULAR CULTURE AND TV ; MEDIA ; CONSUMERS AND TV ; CULT FILMS Summary: Fan Cultures is the first comprehensive overview of fans & fan theory. Emphasising the contradicions of fandom, Matt Hills outlines the ways in which fans have been conceptualised in cultural theory and challenges many of these established paradigms. Hills draws on case studies of specific groups, such as elvis impersonators, X-Philes and Trekkers, and discusses a reange of approaches to fandom. Taking all of this into account, he ultimately questions whether the development of new media creates the possibility of new forms of fandom and explores the significance fo the term 'cult' for media fans.
