What can we learn about social transformations from popular culture?
The two- day conference, entitled “Popular Culture and Social Transformationâ€, will be held in Oslo on 4-5 October 2012.
The aim of the conference is through a variety of sessions and topics to address how popular culture is not only a mirror of society, but also a crucial element of power; the keynote speakers are Simon Lindgren and Jason Dittmer.
For those interested in joining the conference, the deadline for abstracts is May 15th, 2012.
The call for papers is available here.
