CONTENT REQUIREMENTS
Utilising the prescribed reading from week 5 “Nachbar, Jack, and Kevin Lausé, eds. 1992. Popular Culture:
An Introductory Text. Bowling Green, Ohio: Bowling “ write a 2,000 word essay on an Icon of Popular
Culture from the list below. You should analyse its meaning, significance, and impact in society, and argue
how and why it is iconic utilising the most relevant of the theories we have covered.
Apply your knowledge of the key theories covered in this unit in this essay to support what type of
Icon your object is and why (eg: Myth, Ideology, Material Culture, Semiotics, Stereotypes or
Hyperreality and how these work to elevate the artefact to an Icon)
Icon to be used: Mambo The Australia popular Icon
Please do not submit ‘the story’ of the icon, A ‘historical timeline’ is not adequate. However, the history of
your chosen icon will be important to your understanding of the icon, so you can carry out the analysis and
evaluation to justify your answer.
