A mass culture
* Drag the correct answer into all target fields
A mass culture produces a quiescent, passive mass of people, totally and helpless. Recently, however, a third direction has begun to emerge. It sees popular culture as a site of struggle. While accepting the power of the forces of dominance, it focuses rather upon the popular tactics by which these forces are coped with, are evaded or are resisted. Instead of concentrating on the omnipresent, insidious practices of the ideology, it attempts to understand the everyday resistances and evasions that make the ideology work so hard and insistently to maintain itself. This approach sees culture as potentially, and often actually, progressive and it is essentially optimistic, for it finds in the vigour and of the people evidence both of the possibility of social change and of the motivation to it.
