[ecrea] 'Pursuing the Trivial' - New theme from Culture Unbound

New thematic section from Culture Unbound: “Pursuing the Trivial”

http://www.cultureunbound.ep.liu.se/current-volume.html



Culture Unbound: Journal of Current Cultural Research has published a 
new thematic section entitled “Pursuing the Trivial”, edited by Roman 
Horak, Barbara Maly, Eva Schörgenhuber and Monika Seidl. It addresses 
the social significance of popular culture, past and present, and 
analyses how the seemingly trivial shape our daily lives and therefore 
our perception of the world. The articles cover areas such as popular 
culture of early 20th century, sports and racism, the philosophy of 
outdoor recreation, contemporary film and literature, and the everyday 
use of new technology.

Featured articles are:
