PC200

Welcome to PC200: Popular Culture and History. We have had one lecture so far on British Popular Culture and Americanisation. Next week we are studying the influence of Disney on British culture.

Each week two students will review a session, this will be a great help when you come to write your coursework and revise for the exam.

Just a reminder that the core texts for the course are John Storey's Cultural Studies and the Study of Popular Culture, Dominic Sandbrook's Never Had it So Good: From the Suez Crisis to the Beatles, White Heat: A History of Britain in the Swinging Sixties and Ian Fleming's Casino Royale.

As well as reviews of each week's lectures and seminars, I will attach clips, discussion points, notes and a general miscellany of popular culture from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and the noughties!

Happy blogging!

Richard
