THE POPULAR CULTURE
REVIEW
Volume II, no. 2
Through the Editor's Eye
When a holographic plate through which the laser beam passes to create
its three dimensional image (remember the Princess Leia projection in Star
Wars?) is cut into pieces, each fragment, no matter how small, retains the
image of the whole
So in the study of Popular Culture does each fragment retain the image of
the whole, as, by extension, does this issue of PCR. Whether we examine
pastoralism in the Industrial Age, the mythology of pro-wrestling, the regional
lyric poetry of Texas or any of the other topics covered in this issue, we gain a
greater understanding of both the topic itself and of its place in the larger
cultural context.
It is with an eye to the above that the referees and I have made our
selections. We hope that you find them stimulating.
