New Module

This module- Media Culture and Digital Text seems to be quite an interesting area to explore. The readings and discussion on issues pertaining to popular culture have been so illuminating. I get the feeling that the pursuit for larger profit margins by manufacturing industries and consumerism appears to be at the helm of the production and consumption of children's popular cultural texts.

yes I agree ... although think that once in the possession of the kids, they ply around with pop culture meanings to suit themselves.

Thanks for the comments drjoolz. It is so true. I have embeded a video which focuses on popular culture in the 80s. Can you identify any aspect of culture (either in sports, technology etc) that are still popular today?
