Abstract

This paper delves into the interdisciplinary field of cultural studies, focusing on its intersection with popular culture in global contexts. It explores the ways in which popular culture shapes and is shaped by cultural practices, values, and identities across different societies. By examining case studies from various regions, the essay illustrates the dynamic interplay between cultural studies and popular culture, highlighting the significance of understanding the global circulation of cultural products and ideas. The analysis underscores the role of media, technology, and the internet in facilitating the spread of popular culture, while also considering the challenges and inequalities associated with its global reach. The paper argues that cultural studies provides a critical framework for examining the complexities of cultural identity, representation, and consumption in an increasingly interconnected world.
