The Journal of Popular Culture (TJPC) is a peer-reviewed journal and the official publication of the Popular Culture Association. The popular culture movement was founded on the principle that the perspectives and experiences of common folk offer compelling insights into the social world.
The fabric of human social life is not merely the art deemed worthy to hang in museums, the books that have won literary prizes or been named “classics,” or the religious and social ceremonies carried out by societies’ elite. The Journal of Popular Culture continues to break down the barriers between so-called “low” and “high” culture and focuses on filling in the gaps a neglect of popular culture has left in our understanding of the workings of society.
TJPC is published by Wiley Blackwell. Subscriptions come with a membership in the Popular Culture Association. The journal publishes regular and special issues. Submissions to TJPC are submitted online. Please see our submissions link above for more information. For information on submitting book reviews, please contact our book review editor, Tricia Jenkins. Contact information is below.
