Social theory can sometimes seem as though it's speaking of a world that existed long ago, so why should we continue to study and discuss the theories of these dead white men? Can their work still inform us about the way we live today? Are they still relevant to our consumerfocused, celebritycrazy, tattoofriendly world?This book explains how the ideas of classical sociological theory can be understood, and applied to, everyday activities like listening to hiphop, reading fashion magazines or watching reality TV. Taking the reader through central sociological texts, Social Theory In Popular Culture explains why key theorists from Marx to Saussure are still considered to be the bedrock of sociology and sociological enquiry. Each chapter examines a different key thinker and applies their work to a recognisable aspect of popular cultural, showing how the central issues underpinning classic social thought class, conflict, gender, power, ethnicity, and social status can still be readily observed within the modern global world.Encouraging the reader to critique and reflect upon the ways in which classic social theory applies to their own worlds, this is the perfect antidote to dry social theory explanations. It is an eyeopening read for all students and scholars across the social sciences.
