A new vision of pop culture

After 3 months of course, here's the day of reckoning. This course has given me a lot, both on theoretical approach and on text analysis methods.

If I had to pick two things from this course, it would be the unit on narrative perspective and the unit on neo-marxist perspective.

I loved the part about the narrative perspective because it allows me to have a new vision on the elements of pop culture, especially the elements of fiction. Indeed, the fact to analyze, for example, motivations and intentions of a person based solely on these actions. Because of this course, I would never see a text in the same way! I will need to find what is the "hidden meaning" in any element of pop culture.

I also liked the section on neo-marxist perspective because it has a very interesting angle. Indeed, I found really relevant the notions of hegemony and ideology and the fact to analyze it in a text just make it more interesting.
I think the neo-marxist perspective can be considered the most "negative" because it will show things that will not please everyone, but I think it's also the truest.

Our society is primarily a society in which an ideology has taken over others. Therefore, this ideology is also transmitted in the cultural elements of this society, and even more pop. culture. So I feel that analyzing a text in terms neo-marxist, it is primarily analyze the ideological power of the society.

To conclude, I would say that this course has been very constructive on my way to see the elements of pop. Culture. Whenever I would look at a series or a movie, I could not help but think about this course and theories that we saw!
