What is From Entertainment to Citizenship : Politics and Popular Culture about?

From entertainment to citizenship reveals how the young use shows like X-factor to comment on how power ought to be used, and how they respond to those pop stars - like Bono and Bob Geldof - who claim to represent them. It explores how young people connect the pleasures of popular culture to the world at large. For them, popular culture is not simply a matter of escapism and entertainment, but of engagement too. The place of popular culture in politics, and its contribution to democratic life, has too often been misrepresented or misunderstood. This book provides the evidence and analysis that will help correct this misperception. It documents the voices of young people as they talk about popular culture (what they love as well as what they dislike), and as they reveal their thoughts about the world they inhabit. It will be of interest to those who study media and culture, and those who study politics. ** Political Science Media Studies Social Science Civics & Citizenship General Cover 1 From entertainment to citizenship 2 Contents 6 Acknowledgements 7 1 Introduction 10 2 Politics and popular culture 17 3 Citizenship and popular culture 33 4 Researching young people, politics and p
