| Abstract | This book demonstrates how pop culture examples can be used to demystify complex social theory. It provides tangible, metaphorical examples that show that it is possible to 'do philosophy' rather than subscribe to a theorist by showing that each theorist intersects and overlaps with others. This book is embedded in the literary theory that tapping into background knowledge is a key step in helping people engage with new and difficult texts. It also acknowledges the important role of popular culture in developing comprehension. Using a choose your own adventure structure, this book not only shows students of social theory how various theories can be applied but also reveals the multitude of possible pathways theory provides for comprehending society. |
