Description

This book explores the rapid diffusion and 'hybridization' of popular culture as the result of three conditions of the world since the end of World War II: instantaneous communications, widespread consumption in a market-based economy and the visualization of reality. It considers the dominance of American entertainment media and habits of consumption, assessing adaptation and negative reactions to this influence.
