Abstract:
The study analyzes modern American popular culture by reviewing its history. The analysis indicates that the American popular culture must be analyzed under its historical background, social context and the humanistic ideology. Based on the Frankfurt school's critical stance on popular culture, this study proposes that the emergence and further development of a popular culture is in nature the rise of a cultural ideology in industry, metropolis, or an era of mass consumption. The study also makes some necessary supplement for Frankfurt school's mass culture critical theory.
