Brown (Eds.), Popular Culture as Pedagogy: Research in the Field of Adult Education (pp. 119-133). Rotterdam, NL: Sense Publishers. Thought Questions: Choose one of the following questions: 1. Odgren discusses the literature which claims that popular cultural is a powerful source for informal learning where dominant ideologies, such as excessive consumption, are replicated and reinforced. Popular culture, however, can also be a site of resistance, offering counter narratives to dominant ideologies. What are your thoughts on the pedagogical aspects of popular culture in society (e.g. what do adults learn through popular culture)? To what extent do you think popular culture is a site of reproduction and/or resistance? You are welcome to draw on other examples of movies, TV programs, etc. to explain your ideas. 2. Odgren examines The Lego Movie through three common concepts found in the field of adult education: transformative learning, communities of practice, and citizenship. Choose one of these concepts and discuss Odgren’s analysis of it in relation to the movie. What do you think of her analysis? Do you agree or disagree with it? Why? You are welcome to draw on ideas from the weeks in which we discussed transformative learning and citizenship. 3. Discuss Taber’s analysis of the ways that women, love, and family are complicated and replicated in Once Upon a Time. What are your thoughts on her argument and conclusions? 4. Discuss other representations of popular fairy tales and the extent to which they complicate or replicate dominant ideas. How could such representations be used in adult education as a form of social critique? Thanks for your writing! Have a good day~
