Popular Culture” is a serious concern for academicians for quite a long time. We may legitimately identify certain aspect of culture in past eras as “popular” but the popular in the truest sense can be said to exist only with the context of contemporary industrial society. This link between modernity and popular derives from the vast economic, social and technological transformations that took place in the hundred years between the mid 19th and 20th centuries.
This book sets out to endow with more clarity to our understanding of aims and methods in the study of popular culture and provide inspiration for many to start analysing the phenomena that surround us in our daily way of life. It covers varied dimensions of popular culture beginning with politics and covering aspects of popular science, caste and also popular sports. This book will quench the thirst of general readers as well as academic who want to have a taste of popular culture in Bengal.
