{"product_id":"reconstructing-pop-subculture","title":"Reconstructing Pop\/Subculture","description":"The book and its premise are eye-opening and give credibility  to  glitter rock′s birth, death, and afterlife. . . . Interesting  and  enlightening for those who are fascinated by the history and  progression of rock ′n roll.  --Academic Library Book Review  \"Van M. Cagle′s singular achievement is his ability to find not  only  the moments at which people, ideas, and movements converge, but  to  find their melting points, that instant when a combination of  energy  and heat reshapes cultural forms. Reconstructing Pop\/Subculture  reconnects the work of Andy Warhol, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, and  glitter rock to create a better understanding of the  relationships  between style, youth, art, and rebellion. By creating an account  of  the deep structures at the nexus that formed around Warhol,  Cagle′s  book does for the United States what Hebdige′s Subculture did  for  the United Kingdom. His use of cultural studies to interrogate  notions of production and reception makes for a sterling  history,  analysis, and critique of the intertwining of subversion and  popular  culture.\"  --Steven G. Jones,  Associate Professor and Chair,  Faculty of Communication,  University of Tulsa  By exploring the phenomenon of Andy Warhol′s influence on  glitter  rock and pop art, author Van M. Cagle reconceptualizes and  reevaluates many of the theoretical claims of subculture theory.  Reconstructing Pop\/Subculture proposes a theoretical framework  that incorporates notions of productivity with reception and  reexamines the critical relationships between style, youth  culture,  incorporation, hegemony, and resistance, focusing on the ways in  which fans take up trends presented through mass media and adopt  them  through highly disingenuous practices. At the same time, this  volume  provides a historical account of the tensions that arose in  Western  culture during the 1960s and 1970s--both among and between  various  factions that were forced to engage in explicit confrontations.  Cagle  also illustrates the ways in which particular genres such as  glitter  rock and pop art came into being and how such genres were  interpreted  and used by audiences.  And ideal supplement for popular culture and cultural studies  courses, Reconstructing Pop\/Subculture will also appeal to  anyone  interested in subcultures, youth culture, and cultural studies.","brand":"SAGE Publications Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246823035224,"sku":"9780803957442","price":105.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780803957442.jpg?v=1777787140","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/reconstructing-pop-subculture","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
