The European Popular Culture Association (EPCA) promotes the study of 
popular culture from, in, and about Europe. Popular culture involves a 
wide range of activities, material forms and audiences. EPCA aims to 
examine and discuss these different aspects as they relate both to 
Europe and to Europeans across the globe, whether contemporary or 
historical.
