Each Wednesday, I usually write a post from my dissertation.
Though scrapbookers are influenced by mainstream American culture in what they choose to scrapbook, they do not often record popular culture in their scrapbooks.
A few scrapbookers regularly include popular culture references but for most this is atypical. For example, one respondent has an entire layout around the CD artwork from one of her favorite artists.
In other cases, the popular culture reference is incorporated into the layout. For example, a respondent includes a quote from one of her daughter’s favorite authors on a page about her daughter.
Do you use pop culture in your scrapbooks? In what way?
Stephanie Medley-Rath is a sociologist and scrapbooker who studies scrapbooking and memory keeping. Scrapworthy Lives is a blog focused on her sociological analysis of scrapbooking, with a sprinkling of posts about Stephanie's own scrapbooking projects.
