Preferred term

geography and popular culture  

Definition

  • Until the 1980s, geography's engagement with popular culture was relatively thin. While North American cultural geographers described and mapped traditional folk cultures, especially in rural areas, forms of popular culture associated with the mass media were ignored or even disparaged for destroying the local music, crafts, or other practices that made regions and places unique.
