Now that's trendy..


Grossberg pays a lot of attention to the argument Cultural Studies and Political Economy are "interrelated".
When reading this article I also saw "self production of culture- the practices by which people come..to represent themselves". We're not all one person cloned, we're individuals with idea's so spit on the current trend and act like individuals. Whether that be in a political sense with who we vote for or whether that be only wearing Crocs because they're in fashion. We're forever pretty much lied to into thinking that one idea is right and when someone sells you an idea, you too sell it to others and that's the way these trends start, thus the throwing of the true phrase "Cultural Dupes". Hopefully one day we'll get past all this.
