I won't be able to finish. I knew he was blowing it out of his ass when he said that popular culture should be taxed to support high culture. Culture exists because of the financial support of its patrons, not at the whim of a central cultural authority. If it doesn't pay, it doesn't play. Shakespeare knew that. So did Johnson. Joyce didn't know and we got that grad student doorstop 'Ulysses'. Really, just an aggravating book and typical of the sanctimonious editorializing that passes for academic discussion where nicely parsed models are fobbed off as insight. Read Warshow's 'The Immediate Experience' instead, top it off with Chesterton's essay 'In Praise of Penny Dreadfuls' and you've left Gans far behind.… (más)

Gans does a nice job of debunking certain elitist assumptions about the effects of popular culture that too often go unchallenged.

I found his analysis of different taste cultures to be helpful, but pretty much flat-out disagree with a lot of what he implies. Would have been much better to do a full update of this book, rather than a postscript that allows the writer to dodge inconsistencies between old text and current reality.
