[ecrea] chapters wanted; The Making of Popular Culture

This is a request for chapter proposals for a book I will edit with the 
working title The Making of Popular Culture. The aim of the book is to 
present a critical examination of the popular culture that emerged with 
the changes that transformed Britain in the nineteenth century from a 
rural to an urban society and from an agrarian to an industrial mode of 
production. I am looking for work on all aspects of the development of 
popular culture in this period, but would particularly welcome chapters 
on the following,



Advertising;

Music hall;

Newspapers and magazines;

Popular fiction (especially in relation to the emergence of popular genres);

Popular photography;

Popular theatre (especially stage melodrama);

Pornography;

Seaside holiday;

Sport (covering its development as a whole or focusing on particular 
sports);

Transition from rural to urban popular culture.



It is also hoped that the topics covered will involve analysis that 
increases our understanding of the relations between culture and power. 
This might be in terms of ‘race’, ethnicity, class, sexuality, gender, 
or any other marker of social difference.



Chapters should be 6,000 words, contain an overview of a particular type 
of popular culture, make an argument for its significance, and be 
written in a style that is accessible to undergraduate students studying 
cultural studies or other related disciplines.



Please send an abstract of no more than 300 words and a brief 
biographical note to me at (john.storey /at/ sunderland.ac.uk). The closing 
date for proposals is 15th May 2014.
