Description
The unexpected comparison of a Supreme Court Justice with a popular culture
icon demonstrates how politics and popular culture become entwined in the
contemporary context; moreover, network culture provides a conduit for vernacular
discourse about politics, which circulates in the style of popular culture. Through analysis
of images of Ruth Bader Ginsburg as created, shared, and circulated in network culture,
this project explores the alternative levels of discourse generated in network culture,
examines the ways the public represents politics, and explains the ability of political
subjects to affect meaning. The aim of this project is to document a conjunctural moment;
as such, analysis of the images in aggregate provides a foundation to raise questions
about how American political culture is manifested, attended to, and maintained through
network culture and the parlance of popular culture.
