Popular Culture and the Civic Imagination
How popular culture is engaged by activists to effect emancipatory political changeOne cannot change the world unless one can imagine what a better world might look like. Popular Culture and the Civic Imagination represents a call for greater clarity about what we're fighting for--not just what we're fighting against.Across more than thirty examples from social movements around the world, this casebook proposes "civic imagination" as a framework that can help us identify, support, and practice new kinds of communal participation. Civic imagination is the capacity to conceptualize alternatives to current cultural, social, political, or economic conditions; it also requires the ability to see oneself as a civic agent capable of making change, as a participant in a larger democratic culture.
